I've had this Mac on Catalina 10.15.5 for a few weeks now and suddenly noticed this battery drain overnight. It went from 60% to 3% two nights ago and happening last night too. After doing some digging I noticed that com.apple.alarm.user-visible-com.apple.remindd.time-alarm seems to be waking up the Mac every few secs. Googling it says that it's related to scheduled reminders which I have a few of but disabling those hasn't helped either. I've attached a snippet of the pmset log below. Basically these set of lines repeat all night, even when the lid is shut. Can someone please help?

I also noticed that certain scheduled tasks are listed multiple times in the System Information > Power > Next Scheduled Events?

Try to drop powernap first, sounds like a culprit to me. I mean try to cycle it off/on and rebooting if you really use it otherwise make sure it's off
