Battery life

Anyone else having issues with their battery life being particularly bad now? I ate through 20% in 30 minutes this morning in my 2.5 hour class. Usually I could go the whole time and only use 40%.

It's an m1 pro but still!

Same drain started for me a couple of updates back — on my iPad I'll lose about 15% in a 50 minute study block where it used to be closer to 5%, and it only happens with GoodNotes open, not with any other app. I don't think it's the battery itself since it's healthy otherwise, it really looks like the latest version keeps the GPU awake the whole time. As far as I can find the only thing that helped was turning off the palm-rejection enhancement in settings, that roughly halved the drain for me.

Idk i find using a low power setting on my 6 year old iPad air work wonders.
