MacBook Air M2's battery is draining fast after Mac OS 15.3.2 update

Hi Guys,

I bought my MacBook Air m2 in 2022 and it used to had a great battery backup but since Mac OS 15.3.2 update the battery is draining pretty fast, with no resolution in sight.


Please guide me, I have already checked for any app consuming extra battery and found none as such.



MacBook Air, macOS 15.3
