Battery Drainage Issue, Macbook Air 2020

Hi there!


I have a MacBook Air A2179 (2020). I bought it new in 2020 and it has steadily served me ever since. However, the past few months I've noticed the battery has been draining much faster than usual. I figured this was because of my bad habit of leaving 20 tabs open on Chrome. However, lately I have been trying to minimize the number of applications (and tabs) I have open, turning off Bluetooth when not in use, reducing brightness, etc. but nothing has really made a difference. This week has been my final straw. I charge my laptop and after being left, not in use and closed, for just a few hours the battery is dramatically drained. What do I do? The battery health also says "normal," although I find it quite hard to believe.


I've attached here an image of my usage report. As you can see I charged it last night, but dropped to 80% as soon as I took it off the charger. After only three and a half hours of use it almost died and I recharged it. Four-five hours later (of not using it at all!!!) the battery was less than 50% and within 45 minutes of use was at 13%.


I'm very much unsure what to do. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
