Lumia 950 battery drains rapidly

My Lumia 950 was at 95% battery today.  I had it in my pocket for 2 hours and didn't take it out once or use it in any ways.  After 2 hours I pulled my phone out and it was at 72% and it felt very hot.  Is this the experience others are having with their Lumia 950 or does this sound like I may have a defective phone and/or battery?

    I just got the .29 update and see no improvements to battery time whatsoever. If anything, things are even worse generally, with Windows Hello dying on me constantly now. Oh, and the phone just rebooted by itself last night.

    PS. For those interested in what I am struggling with when I'm not recharging my phone, have a look at my OneDrive woes. Good thing it didn't cost like an iPhone. /s

    Full backup, Reset, restore, add back apps, check for update, get the .29 update, initialize apps, all is good. Even while pounding on apps firing them up and getting logged in, phone did not get warm. When idle it is now stone cold.

    Not fun, but it looks like a full reset has done the trick for me, too.

    A full rest would not hurt b, just the .29 update is all you need. I never did the factory reset. I'm on day 3 after update and pleased with my phone now.
