Macbook pro 16inch M1 draining battery super fast even on sleep mode

After updating my MacBook pro 16inch M1 Pro to macOS Sequoia, I’ve noticed a significant drop in battery performance (Battery health: NORMAL). I used to use the Sleep mode all the time and battery % was always good, the temperature also cool and not significant, but after the update the heating beneath the laptop its unusually warm and ive had to open the computer expecting to have some juice and surprisingly finding it has 1% left with a few hours of usage or when i leave it on sleep mode...March 2025 marks a 3 year period of using this product, already had a speaker changed because started to crack, now this issue with battery heating and draining faster than a month ago...Any suggestions?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3

Replacing an Overheating Battery and Drain:

Seeing "crack", it sounds like you have a corroding battery. So, get this serviced once more. This has become a health hazard.

The speaker was changed and it was working perfectly until the update, also im noticing an issue with the bluetooth connectivity range, i have a Bose speaker and used to move it around the flat and left the MBP some meters and connection/audio was perfect, now i just move the speaker 3 meters away and it starts to lagg. Tried with my old MBP and the speaker works fine long range. I get what you are saying but my laptop has the same exact issues as others in the community after installing Sequoia...How to know if battery is corroding? is there some other indications?

thanks.
