I just came back from travel after 2 weeks and didn't bring my laptop. I know for sure when I left, my triton 500 has 100% of battery charge left. When I turn on the laptop just now, it shows 62% of battery left. Is this a normal behaviour? When I left it was not left in hibernate or sleep mode. It was turned off completely. My model is PT515-51 (RTX 2060).

If 'fast startup' is disabled, then check if you have any device connected to USB port which supports charging. USB charging works, even when the system is powered off. Irrespective of connected device draws power or not, this can cause battery drain.

I have a logitech usb receiver connected, I'm going to try and unplug this to see if it is the culprit.
Is this in relation to the Fast boot option in the BIOS?
Not savvy enough to understand how IME works but from what I gather It doesn't take power if the main system is off. Again I could be wrong or you're right the government is scanning my pc. LOL

Is this normal still?

The system is not in sleep, hibernate mode. The system is COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I've not plugged in any devices even when the system is completely turned off. I've not calculated again how much reduction is there but judging from my last use, it is over a week and when I left for travel it was at 100% and when I came back it is now at 74%. Seems strange.

It seems like the USB port on left side of the notebook support power off charging. Check to see if yours is turned on.
Just plug a wireless mouse or phone to see if it is being charged. If it is you need to turn off the feature.
Unfortunately, this cannot be turned off via the BIOS. Download the acer quick access application and turn off Power-Off charging if it is turned on.
I'm going to see if turning off this feature makes a difference.

I already turned off always on USB by someone else's suggestion and it didn't help, although I keep forgetting to plug something in to check it's really off.

Ok just got back from a long travel. Ran the command for 14 days (see attached).
