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 don't get it. I joined the Insider program. Got the latest update I could, and still no help!

    Yes that is possible.

    Once you have the new update you can go into Window Preview settings and opt out of future previews. Lot of people on reddit have been doing that

    Is it possible to join the Windows Insider program just for this update and opt out of receiving future previews?
