2-4 hours for me on Fedora (AMD). This is with media consumption (video mainly) and I haven't tested it for productivity yet cause uni is on break. I've been trouble shooting this to try and get better performance because I have a feeling Flatpaks may not be as optimised for hardware acceleration. For the most part though, general web browsing and whatnot does not seem to hit the battery at at all really.
I see the same pattern on my AMD with Linux outside of flatpaks (battery usage for text editing is good, but for videos it's not great), so flatpaks are probably not the problem. I guess the GPU uses too much energy when decoding video - hopefully this is a driver problem and not how the hardware is inherently.
