Hi,
I have been using a new M5 MBA 15" for past 2 weeks or so.
I see less battery life and unusually high background CPU usage.

Usually, i have a brave tab open with some youtube video or streamio for watching some movie over WIFI.
What i have noticed that WindowServer process is always taking 10-40 % cpu usage in activity monitor.

I moved about 500 gigs of my photos from an old HDD to sort it through and organise it and i will offload it back.

Any ideas or suggestions what might be causing low battery life and high CPU usage.
