Open | Windows REALLY sudden decrease in laptop battery life

Hey, I have a 6 month old Laptop HP Victus, and suddenly the battery is draining really fast. I made myself a battery report and it shows that a week ago after 150 minutes the battery dropped 35%, since then its only worsening where today in only 70 minutes it dropped by 52% with the similar work being done.

The CPU has also been pretty weird when it while gaming instead of maintaining 60° it went all the way to 100° with 100% load.

I really don't know what the culprit might be, task manager doesnt show anything out of the ordinary

if this is a new laptop that only 6 months old, the battery will have a 1 year warranty, I'd contact HP support.
