MacBook Pro battery drain

I recently upgraded to Mac OS Ventura. I do have the optimized battery setting on for battery health since I keep my Mac plugged in most of the time. I noticed that a couple times this week, the battery would drain to 90% and then go back up to 100%. I've never seen it go down to 80% and stay there for days like it used to. The battery health is normal. Is this normal after a. Mac OS upgrade? The bottom of the Mac felt warm at times but never hot. This is actually the first time I've disconnected it from the power supply since upgrading last weekend. I thought I'd leave it unplugged and see how fast it drained.

Thank you. It took about 90 minutes to drain 80% surfing the web and doing a Word document. I plugged it into the power supply and the battery drop down says 1 hour 16 minutes until fully charged. While I was using Safari, MalwareBytes Premium was running along with Photos. I don't believe it has a bad battery drain as I've seen posted on this community forum. I hate when these Mac OS updates come up and there is a subtle change that I notice but when I search the web or You Tube no one has mentioned it on What's New in Mac OS Ventura videos.
