Ring Doorbell battery issues - Gen 2

Hi, Newbie here! Admins - Feel free to take this down / move to where appriate if this has already been mentioned elsewhere. I have a battery powered Ring Doorbell (2020 Release) Gen 2 I'm fairly confident when it comes to technology but for the life of me i cannot understand why my battery has been draining so fast. Just wanted to check if this was a common issue / any possible soultions the community might have. So far my settings are as follows. - Firmware is up to date - The wifi signal is strong to the doorbell - Snapshot feature is off - Rich notification is on - Motion frequency is minimal - Adavnced motion detection is off - Video recording length is 30secs (recommeneded setting) - No privacy zones in place - Normal day has roughly 10 alerts, normally the family leaving for work / school then setting it off again when they come home. Due to the postion of the camera in relation to my driveway i very rarely get any false alerts. - I'm the only one with access to the account so i know that no one else is using anything battery draining (live view for example). - weathers been fairly mild in my area so i know that cold weather isn't affecting the battery life nor is the doorbell exposed to any rain/snow/direct sun light etc I do have the video quailty set to the highest and i know this will affect battery life. But condiering the alerts are a normal households coming and goings i find it ridiclous that a battery that should be lasting 6-12 months is only lasting me 10days at best. My battery never had this problem until about 2 months ago and i've had it installed since March (2021) Anyone else having simlaur issues all of a sudden? Does anyone know of any obvious change / update that could be affecting this? Or does is my doorbell on the way out after only a year of use? Thanks in advance. Apologies for the spelling :yum:
