Some valid points, thanks.

However you might have some other issues with your system because I practically never close Xcode and I’m having like +10 hours of battery life on my M1 air. This includes actual work being done in Xcode.

That’s probably true, but also I’ve experienced these issues on two different machines (high spec Intel MBP, highest spec M1 MBA).

I do regularly find that mDNSresponder has been sending and receiving 100’s of GB over the network and must be force killed. When that process goes off the rails, it also saps battery.

I wish that I didn’t have to keep Activity Monitor open at all times on both machines just to keep ahead of the problems. It’s not like effectively running top is cheap.
