Watch OS 9.2 and Battery rapid drain

So this continues to be an issue about every other major update. Watch Series 7 working fine for months and months and then for past four or five days, it takes two 100% charges and dies twice in same day. Charging takes like 1 1/2 hours.

In the past, my only good option that completely restored battery levels was:

“FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)”

which I will do tomorrow…. But sure wish Apple would really address this going forward!
