Sequoia Fast Battery Drain

[Coachcasa]

Hi. I've been running Sequoia on my MacBook Pro M1 Max since it came out. I updated it to 15.01 as well. Since I updated to Sequoia my battery drains at a MUCH faster rate. Before Sequoia I could work on my MBP for 2-4 hours doing my normal workload (internet-Safari, Microsoft Office, Apple Mail, YouTube, and Adobe apps) and I might get down in the 80% range or perhaps down to 75%. Now during that same time, doing the same workload I'm getting under 50%! I haven't changed ANY settings since before updating. Are others experiencing this? I'm experiencing the same thing with iOS18 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Open Activity Monitor. Select "Energy" tab. Will display applications using most energy in last 12 hours.

Yeah, I've been doing this and I've been getting some weird results. I'm just wondering if some software and extensions need to be updated to work better with Sequoia.
