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.

    I updated an insertion.

    what do you mean by "insertion"

    After installation of a new insertion and reset of SF6 I saw that the battery at the level of 75% and started over again being charged.

    what do you mean by "reset" - this can mean several things

    So far to check after switching off of time was not.

    Sorry, do not understand the above

    Window I did not update, only an insertion.

    Please run
    winver
    and reply with the full build number shown.

    Good afternoon.

    I updated an insertion.

    at this time I had 100% and I was connected to AC.

    After installation of a new insertion and reset of SF6 I saw that the battery at the level of 75% and started over again being charged.

    So far to check after switching off of time was not.

    Window I did not update, only an insertion.

    This is crazy. A possible "fix" being released vs. the escalation team having just acknowledged the issue as Barb Bowman said... 

    So is this good or bad news? I can't even tell anymore.
