Is anyone else experiencing excessive battery drainage after upgrading to iOS 15?

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and just upgraded to iOS15 and am experiencing significant battery drain. I went from 100% to 20% in 3-4 hours. I have an apple extended battery too which was charged about 70 percent and if I include that as well I went through that and 80% of the phone battery in 5-6 hours. The only thing I can see using a significant amount of battery is Spotify where I was streaming music to Sonos. But that has never caused an issue like this. I have never had a battery issue like this before upgrading.

Can someone please help!!

I have an iPhone X, not iPhone 11, but, FWIW, when the Sonos app is set to show music controls on the Lock Screen, it kills my battery quickly. (This has been ongoing, not just with iOS 15.)

I’ve been using iOS 15 since June and my battery life has been stellar.

I had spectacular battery life on iOS 15, beta 8. iOS 15 GM and iOS 15.1, beta 1 have been less than stellar. Hoping iOS 15.1, beta 2 is better.
