Watch series 5 battery drain

Has there been a resolution to this? Watch series 5 used to run ok and in the last few months the battery drain is awful.

Understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery.

“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:
