Bad battery life on laptop

hello, i have a laptop(xiaomi mi notebook pro 2018 i5 variant) with arch linux installed.

My experience is really smooth the past year but i have a problem with battery life. Battery life was really good on my machine but in the past 2 months its not that smooth. I have been getting around 3 to 4 hours of laptop use and also my battery health fell from 90 to 80 percent in about a week or so.

I would like to know if there is something i can run to see if something is configured incorrectly or what is causing my battery to drain like that. I will be using windows for the next hours to test if the battery life is extended.

Thanks in advanced
