I have a m2 macbook air 12.6.3 mac os currently installed but for some reason battery life is not that great even in lower power mode. I need to be charging every other day im not sure if it has some sort of OS bug making the battery last a lot less. Battery life is at 97% with 30 cycles. I remember on my M1 macbook lasting more days without charging it. any settings you guys recommend to turn off or on to make laptop last longer? I only use chrome, whatsapp, imessage and messenger mostly no hard demanding apps.

Did you check if something abnormal shows in the energy tab of the Activity Monitor ?
Did you have this issue from the start or did the laptop behave normally in the beginning ?
