macOS Ventura battery fast discharging, MacBook Pro 2019

Hello everyone!

I've updated my Mac book pro 13" (late 2019, 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5) to Ventura.

Yes it's great, with unbelievable many features, but, with one big bug (in my case) - it' discharging battery very quickly. Really, one of the reasons for the pride of the laptop is gone. And it's just safari, without 4k video content or web gaming - just web surfing.

here is some screen.

30% of battery was gone in

Today I've reset my Mac to factory settings, with hope, but nothing changed. Ventura is very hungry OS...

so, maybe someone of you have same issue and information about how to fix it?

or there is one way - downgrade to Monterey?

Believe it or not, some Lithium Ion batteries start to degrade after 2-3 years. So it is entirely possible that you are within the realm of a normal lifespan for your battery. If you are still under AppleCare, see if you can get it serviced while still under warranty.

One thing Safari depends on is Spotlight. If you temporarily disable Spotlight, that could slow down the drain of the battery from Safari.

Change Search settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support (JO)

Video will also drain batteries more than the lack of video.
