Battery drain overnight while shutdown

Lately, after I shutdown (full shutdown, not sleep or hibernate) my fully charged Surface Laptop 2 at night, I turn it on in the morning and find that the battery has lost around 25% power overnight! What's going on and how can I fix this? 

The laptop is only about 6 months old and the battery seems to be in good health.

    Surface Pro 6

    where does this screen shot come from? it is very odd. 1796 is the Surface Pro 2017 5th generation.

    please open the Surface App and provide a screen shot of the entire page.

    No idea of what firmware you received or what it is supposed to fix/enable. It is not listed at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4469841/surface-pro-6-update-history -
