MacBook 16 M2 Max (A2780) Battery consumption in Adobe/Web browsing

Can someone confirm or refute results of battery drain speed while rendering in After Effects?

My rate is 1% of battery per 1 minute of rendering in High Power energy mode with max display brightness, which shocked me pretty much.

Same maxed out performance mode gave me around 3.5 hours working in Blender (not rendering).

Also according to Activity monitor a simple web browsing in Safari provides me 6.5 - 7 hours of battery life with 50% of display brightness in Automatic energy mode.

Battery health: Normal.

Cycle Count: 20

Does it look similar to other A2780 owners?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.2
