Apex Legends causing battery drain

I was playing as I've been doing almost daily at night after a day at work and noticed that my laptop (which was pluged to the charger) suddenly displayed 93% battery life on the icon near the clock, which was really odd since I got this laptop just a couple of days before Respawn launched Season 2 and never had this issue before, I decided to stop playing and my battery took about 30 minutes to fully charge (it displayed 10 minutes to fully charge for all that time but it took 3x that amount), I decided to test my laptop with other things to check if this was a general issue, running other programs and even other videogames but only Apex Legends is causing this for me, none of the other games even made my battery life icon flinch, it's only been two days but I wonder if someone else is experiencing this specifically with Apex Legends.

    @Sp4ceb4lls Hey friend, no, it is a Dell G3 15 3579, I was able to play Apex normally without this issue happening until two days ago, I've even tried other games and none of them have showed this issue, I understand that this laptop has a hybrid power mode and this could happen with some heavy tasks but it is weird that it only happens with Apex Legends and started doing this out of nowhere when it was working perfectly all these past 3-4 months

    @AlexDCast My iPad does the same thing! And looking at my battery usage; apex legends ran for 4 hours and 1 min used 90% of my battery, where call of duty mobile ran for 4 hours and 22 mins only used 9%! Is there anyway to fix this?!
