#Switch Battery dropping fast during sleep

I originally posted this on the questions thread but thought this would be a wise idea to post here.

I put my Switch on my coffee table, off any charger, overnight. When I put it to sleep yesterday it was around 79% charge.

I woke up this morning to play on it, and it was at about 12%.

I have done multiple resets as advised by this community but they don't seem to work now, unless I'm doing it wrong.

Where do I go from here?

Also of note, no games were running during all of this.

Someone replied to me on reddit in the questions thread and I quote:

It seems Nintendo broke sleep mode in october with firmware update 19.0.0. The late october fix 19.0.1 didn't solve it. I think the main culprit is leaving switch wifi turned on. In the mean time, until nintendo fixes it with a new update: Disable switch wifi before using sleep mode. Or dock/plug-in the console for sleep mode, or power down your console instead of using sleep mode over night, or extended periods.
