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?

    Me too, I have my Lumia for 2 years and now since ca. 1 months I'm facing this problem. I bought a new battery but it did not help. Then I did reset to factory settings, but still the same issue. I uninstalled almost all applications, except of phone, SMS and e-mail. The battery monitor says Display is consuming the most battery life.
