Hello

I have a 16" MBP M1 Max version. The first 2 months or so I was getting estimates for overall battery life of arounf 12 hours. Now It seems like 6-7 hours. I do heavy web app work as part of my job. Tons of Chrome tabs with diffetent web apps. That is 98% of my scenarios. I do purge and restart Chrome once in a while. I made sure settings are correct in power management ("Energy Mode == Low Power") and I have brightness at about 40%. I also monitor Activity Monitor and do not see huge offenders other than Chrome using a good amount of energy, but that has always been the case it is not new.

Any idea what could have changed or degraded in the past few months?

Thanks!
