Is the battery draining too fast ? (alien.top)

I just got the reMarkable 2 some days ago. I noticed the battery drops by 1% for like every 10 minutes of use (wifi turned off), and I think this is a bit too fast for the two weeks period everybody is talking about.

Is this normal ?

The battery still drains, but not nearly as fast. Though it shouldn't be draining at all given the screen isn't on and Wi-Fi is in airplane mode. I have a feeling it's still trying to sync or call out to cloud services that aren't activated.

Then they probably messed up something in the latest update. I read somewhere that the screen refreshes (when it turns black and then white again) make the tablet reach peak consumption for a moment and drain the battery. I am wondering how one can minimize these refreshes while writing on the tablet.

It's def something firmware related as this problem was happening in earlier version, then fixed, then came back.
