Macbook Pro 14'' battery drains while sleeping

Hi all, I've a Macbook Pro 14'' with very few battery cycles (31 cycles with Maximum Capacity of 98%) but I experience a very strange situation.

Basically when I put it in sleep mode (I close the lid) often the battery drains a lot (more than 1% each hour).

I closed my Macbook on the 28th December at 10.00 PM with 78% battery, and today (30th December) I opened it at 10.00 AM and it shows me 37% batter (after more or less 36 hours).

I had a Macbook Pro 15'' (late 2016) before this, and I was not experiencing this behaviour.

The image below is only one of the several times it happened. The battery drains over 40% in more or less 36 hours.

That's absolutely not normal, and also it forces me to turn off my Macbook otherwise I'll find it not in charge.

I have MacOS Ventura 13.1.

Do you know what can cause this issue?

Thanks,

Have a great new year!

Hey.. Have the same sudden issue with my (almost) 2 years old M1 Air.. started 22th December! Could lay on the desk with lid closed for a week until this day! Draining 100% to 0% in 1,5 day now.. Have tried resetting whole system.. still! Battery state "normal" 97% health, 105 cycles (charged ones a week for aprox 2 years)

Contacted the store I bought it.. They sent it for repair and they said I had opened the backcover and therefore won't repair it.. It should cost me 750euros for new logic board, touch ID and battery!!! I denied that due to the price of a new on discount! I had the backcover off sometime in the first week I had it.. And I can't see how this should give a faulty logic board after 2 years?!? From one day to another..

My insurance will help me buy another, (as the point of this energy efficient laptop is gone), But it still kills me what went wrong in this case?
