I've been using my Inspire 2 for more than 6 months now, wearing it almost 24 hours a day, and only removing it when charging. 

For the past week, all the sudden, the battery doesn't last not even 24 hours. My watch went from holding battery for almost a week, to not holding battery for a day. Nothing else has changed from my end, I'm still using the same charger and my physical activity is the same.

I've tried the help topics about "how to extend my battery life" and I've tried the hints and answers from similar questions already posted on this forum. But could it be that the latest firmware version 1.124.76. did this?

How can I degrade my firmware version? I want to go back to previous firmware version. 

It kinda sucks that in the past 3 years this is my second Fitbit watch that has broken right after warranty expires... Fitbit should change their name to Programmed Obsolescence watches.

It has no trouble with charging to 100%, it’s how quickly it drains after that which has changed literally overnight. It used to last a week now won’t even last a day and I’ve done nothing different. I have also rebooted it and it made no difference.

I now see there are several posts like this in recent months so it’s clear they are faulty batteries. this will be my last Fitbit, I’m not spending out on any more to just replace it every year
