Charge 6 sudden battery drain

I have been using my charge 6 for a month now, it's gr8 but all of a sudden I'm loosing 30+% of the battery a day. I have changed nothing in the settings, it's just started happening out of no where. Contacts are clean, charging rakes a little over an hour but battery won't last 2 days at the moment. What's happened, faulty firmware update?

Same - and it's only gotten worse. Resets/restarts not helpful. Extremely flaky behavior - not always just battery. Sometimes it goes completely unresponsive until I plug it back in, then claims to be 97% charged. Other times I'll take it off when it says full, then 20 minutes later it says it's at 15%. When it was working the Charge 6 was great. But it's been a huge disappointment. 18 months into having it, customer service offered a discount to buy a new one. Despite being a Google guy in general, won't ever buy Fit Bit again after that experience.

This is my fourth fitbit. Each one has gotten to the point where it drains quickly. I've put it on the charger when I take a shower just to keep the charge up, and three times now it has drained instead of charging. 

Ill be driving down the road, it'll vibrate and ill look to see why and it has me doing some activity, driving isn't an activity. I am frustrated with the same stuff happening every couple of years, forcing you to leave or purchase another item.
