The reason why yt makes 4k behind a paywall because streaming in that resolution hurts their revenue, now does watching in newpipe do the same or I'll just drain my battery faster

In newpipe you are still using yt servers so I guess the answer is yes (since you are leeching bandwidth without watching ads)

You are not just draining your battery tho, you are actually enjoying higher quality content :)
