Has anyone else experienced an increase in battery drain in the last two upgrades? My 16 gb Base m3 seems to be burning through battery much quicker since these upgrades.

Have you checked if there are any processes using a lot of cpu in activity monitor? if for instance launchservicesd is very active, you might consider removing for instance everything from *com.adobe.ARMCD*, com.google.keystone* and *OneDrive* in the folders /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons.

My 14" M1pro's battery drains faster than before. Battery capacity droppes 4% from Nov to April but 6% in last month alone. Even with browsing, I have noticed that the battery drains a lot quicker.
