Charge 3 drains quickly after most recent update

[hockysa]

fitbit charge 3 has suddenly started going dead in the middle of the night.

previously used to last about a week however today I've charged it to 100% and after approximately 2 hours I am down to 88%

please respond with new and up to date answer.

Have already checked previous posts noting the same issue with a solution from 2018 for a Fitbit Blaze which DOES NOT WORK.

I am having same problem as hockysa and Lkstreet. My charge 3 is 18 months old. I needed to charge approx once-per-week.

Starting last week...cannot hold a charge for longer than 1 day. I loaded the firmware update yesterday. Now...down to 0% within 12 hours.

I've turn most all notifications off, but seemed to make problem worse. Right now, down 10% within 20 minutes
