I barely used my 17 Pro today and what used to be maybe 5% of use is now 15-20%

Battery life much much worse on Beta 2
So it looks like they did something that only affects the Pro models, because the Air battery is much improved in beta 2. And everyone with Pro & Pro Max's are complaining about bad battery life. And I have a buddy who has the 17e which also he said the battery is much improved on beta 2.
So something that was messed with it something only the Pro/Pro Max has that would affect their battery life...

Maybe..... but it looks like Instagram is the main draw on the battery for me. It really really sucks it up

I'm on Instagram all the time for my business on my iPhone Air, not seeing that issue at all. Are you running the main Instagram or the TestFlight version? I had issues with TestFlight apps in the past and battery life, so I just stay away from them now...
