I just flew a 5.3 mile run with my Mavic 2 and almost ran out of power unexpectedly. When I do a distance run I always turn back when the battery has at least 60% left, which usually leaves me with 10%-15% to spare. But this time I was down to 1% and I had a slight tailwind on the return (I had plenty of places to land early because it's out in the country, but thankfully got back to my starting point). Put another way, why would the Mavic 2 require 60% of the power for half the trip other than due to a headwind? I didn't do anything special with the camera in either direction.
Somewhat related, it shows I used 22.75 minutes of battery time and it's only a month old. I was traveling about 30 mph which I've read is close to the optimal speed to maximize distance. Any thoughts why it wasn't closer to the stated 31 minutes (which I don't expect to get 100%)).
