My Framework arrived the other day, and I'm absolutely loving it except that I'm only getting about 4 hours of light usage out of it.

I installed the driver pack and newest BIOS right away, and really haven't been pushing my laptop that hard, but I'm finding myself having to put it on charge way more often than I expected. I've left Windows in balanced power mode, haven't touched overclocking, and I've followed the expansion card placement guide (two USB-C at the back, two USB-A at the front). Is there something I'm doing wrong?
