hey guys,
Trying to get some additional information on this. I am upgrading from an M1 MacBook Air to a 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro and am alarmed at the battery drain, specifically during Google Meets with Safari. My battery drains over 20% in less than 1 hour. This seems to be more than double what I experienced using the M1 Air (1hour~ 10% battery loss). FWIW, meetings over Zoom do not seem to be hitting the battery as hard as Google Meet.

- Is this a normal amount of battery drain for this machine/processor?
- Any tips to reduce this battery drain? Would the updated Chrome help with this?
