I'm starting to wonder if it is related to recent Calibre updates and the changes with Kobo. It's the only thing I can think of that is different with my usage of the Sage. I have no idea if that is a possibility but it coincides with the sudden onset of the battery issue.
I don't think so. I and others here have been using calibre 8.xx with our Sages and have not seen this.

What the Sage can't take well are high levels of frontlight. If you're the type who usually keeps their light fairly high up, it's entirely possible to wear the battery out with only a few years.
