After updating my series 6 Apple Watch to 8.6, the battery life is awful. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have not changed anything in my usage, but it is losing around 20% each hour. Before the update it would still have around 40% at the end of the day with no need to charge it through the day. Now I am charging it several times a day
