When I am using my laptop on battery, it shows high power consumption. I used open hardware monitor to check how much wattage CPU and GPU is using. Even though NVIDIA GPU is configured to not to be used in some certain application ( such as zoom video meetings ) still it uses 12Wh energy. When I downgraded the drivers the problem was gone.
