Battery drains faster with Lollipop

Has anyone else noticed that the battery drains faster with Lollipop, lasts now 2/3 of the time compered to before upgrade. All battery saving settings are set as before.

I'm on a Z3, got the 5.1.1 update, still problematic issues with mobile data drain.

I've actually resorted to keeping stamina mode on permanently and adding a few apps as exceptions (whatsapp and email). Before lollipop I was on 70% by 5pm, after 5.0.2 I managed 40% to 5pm (ran out by the time I went to bed) and now I can get 55%, but I shouldn't have to rely on stamina mode just to get through the day!

After the last update, the smartphone's battery began to run out faster. Can't say this clearly, maybe it's my battery, as I use a smartphone for 11 months and the battery began to decrease capacity.
Has anybody observed a similar problem after the last update?
