Because the two earbuds serve different functions at different times to maximize battery, one earbud may consume more battery than the other. An algorithm looks after the battery on each earbud and can switch either earbud to support functions that consume more battery, while intelligently prioritizing high quality connectivity and playback performance. On voice calls, the algorithm is more conservative to avoid any dropped audio so while after a long call there may be a more noticeable battery difference, you will likely see it even out if you switch to streaming audio or other functions after.
This might occur when you have two devices connected to your Pixel Buds Pro with Multipoint and you have media streaming from the non-Assistant device. Try updating your Pixel Buds app.
