MacBook Pro 16" battery drain so fast

recently bought MacBook Pro 16". Is it normal for this laptop that the battery drain so fast from 100% to 20% in just 3 hours? Just checking email, browsing internet using Safari or Chrome. Going to YouTube (30 to 40 mins).

Open Activity Monitor in Utilities>Energy tab, sort on Energy Impact... any huge users?


Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
