On top of that, I discovered I was running software rendering on my Manjaro installation. When I upgraded to Mesa GIT, in order to get the newest GPU driver, the power usage got even higher.  I am going to write to Pine directly to confront them about this issue.  It is such a waste that this otherwise wonderful laptop is literally underpowered. I want to use it as my main computer already, but the constant worry about the battery level is sucking away all the joy of having it.

Do please let us know if you get an answer.  I would like to know the maximum amount of current the PBP can safely draw from the barrel adapter or USB-C.
