I have had mine since release too. I don't remember it being that bad from the start. I have tried turning off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular data and the battery still drains really fast.
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?

That sounds like an app issue. If you're desperate you could also try resetting your phone? They make it pretty easy. Just make sure you have a good wifi connection, and it will be done in an hour or two.

Please stop comparing windows phone 8.1 to 10, there two different products. When 8 was released it wasn't roses neither. Microsoft also killed of It's Lumia beans so for sure they are not putting are Lumia phone issues as a priority.
