I have a S21 Ultra that worked flawlessly with my ReSound aids prior to the Android 12 update. My aid's associated app links a page declaring there is a known issue between 12 and Samsung devices. I've not noticed a decrease in battery life but there is an issue with streaming. I don't know if the questionable compatibility between Samsung and 12 is your battery draining culprit but something you might investigate.
Something you might check is under accessibility in your phone settings. Make certain that under hearing enhancements that hearing aid support is enabled and compatibility is on and your aids show up as a connected device.
When I initially set up my aids to use BLE (blue tooth low energy) I married aids to phone using the associated app from the play store for my aids. I recently had one aid replaced and my audiologist once again used the app to connect the new aid to my phone. I'm not certain that my aids can be connected to my phone without using the app. You might check to see if your BLE connection is solid.
The big question to me is why your left aid suddenly consumes more battery than the right even after being replaced. My rechargeable aids don't drain at the same rate. I asked my audiologist what might be the cause and her response was that I required a great deal more assistance from my right aid. I can accept that as a reason. However, in your case, I'm assuming that there was not a major change in your prescription in August.
I wish I had more to offer. I both love and hate my aids.
I would love for the tech to work better than it does. They are called aids for a reason. I hope that you can solve your battery draining issue.

FWIW, have you tried keep? I can, though I don't often, take notes with it using OK google.
