I have a S21 Ultra for a phone and using the Galaxy Watch 4. 

 
I have noticed after the last update to the watch, or it could be the phone, that when they are paired and connected through Bluetooth, there is a huge power drain on the watch. 
 
It will go from 100% to 80% in just a matter of a couple hours at most and it was never like this. Watch was down to 64% after just an 8 hour day at work. Location is off, wifi off, as well as anything else that could possibly be running in the background. I have tested by using the watch today and not connecting it to the phone and I am still at 100% after an hour of taking it off the charger and still hasn't dropped one percent.
 
There is something wrong with the BT connection between phone software and watch but I don't know what end it's on. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can't be the only one. 
 
Using One UI 5 and Android 13.

Turn off Bluetooth on your watch so your phone can't connect. Enable it at the end of the day to sync your data
