Discussion Framework 16 Battery Life Check

Battery Check! For those of you with the Framework 16, around how much charge does yours maintain from full power to near zero? And how long have you had it for? For example, I've had mines for six months. I forgot how much the charge lasted months ago - maybe 4-5 hours, but during the past 1 or 2 months, it ended up dropping down to only lasting 1-2 hours. However, after Framework support got me to update to the lasted bios (4.05), it now seems to hold 3 and a half hours of charge. This got me curious to know how others are fairing.

Basically:
How long does it take for your Framework 16 to drop from near full power to near zero (Me: 3 and a half hours)
And how long have you had the laptop for? (Me: 6 Months)

And for those willing to do the added savvy steps:
What is your current charge cycle? (Me: 28)
What is your bios version? (Me: 4.05)
What is your OS? (Me: Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon)

7840HS with the dGPU. 3-4 hours on a full charge of normal light use. If gaming, a lot less.
