NEW Macbook pro battery life and hot battery

I just bought a new 13 inch MacBook Pro a few weeks ago and I've noticed the battery to get real warm within minutes of using it and the battery life also depletes quickly. I only have one app running and this still happens. It went from 88% to 41% in 30 minutes. This is worse than my 2011 MacBook Pro I just replaced. Any others experiencing this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
