I have not noticed that. What have you been playing? If you've been playing the same games, and they've had updates, it's possible those updates are unoptimized or just heavier to run at the settings you had previously.
Mostly Trails in the Sky First Chapter. It is possible that I just reached more demanding parts of the game, although the power usage have really changed.
Anyways it's hard to say for sure, just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed something similar.
Unfortunately, I tend not to play anything that pushes the power needs above 12W—usually something 2D, so it's possible that I just don't do anything that would make a noticeable change. Take my experience with a grain of salt.
