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.

Please see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4469839/surface-laptop-2-update-history

This should be available on Windows Update:

    Well their failure to even respond to numerous reports of various battery/firmware issues has certainly hurt their rep with me. Even though my Surface Laptop 2 is the first Surface device I've owned, I've been a bit fan of the Surface line since the original Surface tablet launched. The way these issues have been dealt with (or rather, not dealt with) has shaken my faith in MS and I will definitely think long and hard about buying Surface products in the future or recommending them to others. 

    Having reliable battery behaviour is just such a fundamental requirement for a mobile computer, and even budget devices get it right. I expect better from a device that frankly is priced higher than other machines with comparable specs, but I gladly paid that premium expecting that one of MS's very own flagship devices would provide the best possible Windows experience and support.
