XPS 15 7590, high battery discharge, low battery life

Question

Recently I've been having extremely high discharge rates of ~20,000 mW and low battery life of ~3 hours. I've tried killing every process in task manager including msi afterburner and throttlestop except for windows processes. My CPU is consuming 10-15 W and my GTX 1650 is constantly consuming ~5 W despite having a load of 0%. What could be causing this? I've tried setting NVIDIA control panel to only use integrated graphics, but saw no change. I've also tried to reinstall all the drivers for my system from Dell, but still saw no change. I also didn't see any options that seemed like they would affect my dedicated GPU in the BIOS settings. What can I do to fix this?

You do not state if any hardware or operating system changes were made prior to the issue. But, the capacities, health, and report are all normal for a 25 month old battery. Read through the Laptop battery FAQ.
