depends what you have visible. if you have cpufreq - reduce its poll interval
(make it slower). my close shows just minutes, not seconds, i disable
terminology's blinking cursor too as this actually is pumping out on average
30fps (60fps for 0.5 sec, then stop, then another 60fps for 0.5 sec etc. as it
fades in and out). if it's blinking, pulsing, moving all the time - it'll
consume power. my xps13 with internal screen only, backlight dimmed to 30%,
wifi on, bt on, no peripherals plugged in:
The battery reports a discharge rate of 2.75 W
The power consumed was 59.6 J
The estimated remaining time is 22 hours, 56 minutes

I can't say what the wattage of e is but total system usage is 2.75w and that's
like almost 1/4 of yours. I can drop system power usage to 2.4w if i go to 0%
backlight. 100% backlight jumps up to 4w.
Maybe double-check battery gagdet settings to see how often it checks battery
(Mine's at 256 ticks)? You're getting a lot of wakeups there... (295.9) ... is
something rendering all the time? it could be some app on your screen doing
this...
