Same for mine, there's even a long thread about it in Lenovo's forum (T14 gen1).
I still think 4 days is not really great compared to my previous MacBook that could sleep for weeks.
Battery life is bad overall for this, at least on the sister T14s gen1. Is it the same experience for you and what tweaks have you made to increase battery life?
According to this thread we might never get AMD pstate driver working.
I enabled the pstate driver yesterday for my T14s gen3 (AMD). It almost doubled my battery life, the fan never spins anymore and it's very very quiet and cool now. You need to specifically enable it in Linux kernel, this is how I did it:
Yes battery life is awful since day 1. I initially thought I had a faulty device or something. Apart from that the machine is great, it's really a shame.
I tried a lot of various things mentioned in the forum, updated the BIOS, tested plenty of various configurations, to no avail.
It's a bit crazy that it's been so long and it's still a major pain point for me on Linux. Apart from that, I really enjoy the machine. Not really an issue when it's plugged in at home, but annoying on the go...

It should also be used together with the `shedutil` governor for the best results.

It's been a while too, I'm remember that being a plus of Apple devices since 10+ years.
