There are a couple of reasons why your right AirPod might be dying quicker than your left, even though you use them both equally. Here are a few things to check:
* ***Mic Usage:*** Even with automatic mic selection, one AirPod might be doing more of the heavy lifting when it comes to calls. This can happen due to various factors. Try switching the mic setting to "Automatically Choose Microphone" in your Bluetooth settings for AirPods to make sure it's balanced.
* ***Firmware:*** Outdated firmware can sometimes cause battery drain issues. Check if there are any updates available for your AirPods. You can usually find this by going to Settings > Bluetooth, then tapping the "i" icon next to your AirPods and see if an update is available.
* ***Battery Health:*** Batteries degrade over time, and it's possible that the battery in your right AirPod is simply wearing out faster than the left. This is more likely if your AirPods are older.
