Extremely bad battery life | Acer Nitro 5

I have suddenly seen a drastic drop in my battery life with the Acer Nitro 5. It is about 2 months old and I have maintained it at peak.
I got upto 6h on battery once or twice too, but now I am barely seeing 3h! 4-4.5h was my standard no matter how I used it , but now even the most conservative usage is giving me less than 3h

As seen here, the task manager shows nothing suspicious either, it is all the apps that are running right now.

I also started seeing a very sad slowdown in performance despite investing in an SSD.

The nitro 5 and predator models obtain better performance when connected to the power adapter. The battery is only used when it is necessary to provide more performance. So, my tip is, that you connect the laptop to an electrical outlet (I think it's called an electrical socket in English), whenever possible. On the battery problem, check for wear with the hwinfo64.

Oh yes, I do use it while connected to the Power cord when I need to game or do anything extreme like editing too.

My battery wear stands at 3% now and was at about 1.6% when I made the first post. It is all in reasonable amount for a brand new laptop, but still, I somehow dropped from having 6h of battery at best to barely 3h
