I used to have a drier from the late 90s which dried my clothing in one go. The one I have now takes 3 or 4 goes. Apparently the new one is more efficient but I don’t understand how that can be.
Wouldn’t it take up more energy due to the extra cycles?
edit- I would really appreciate it if someone explained how the drier is more efficient than my old one instead of questioning my laundering habits. I clear the lint trap and load small loads. I even switch the settings to “most dry”. I’m not the issue here. This “high efficiency” drier is.

There aren’t really HE dryers. There are HE washer dryer sets that mostly have the gains in the washing machines higher speed spin cycle. And humidity sensor in the dryer to cut off when its mostly dry.
Why does your dryer take 3-4 cycles?
Most likely you are overloading your washer (so many people do this, it’s common, load sizes don’t really make intuitive sense) and so afterward overloading your dryer. Read the manual, don’t overload. One set of wet clothes from the washer into the dryer.
Or your dryer is borked because the lint trap or vent is clogged, or humidity sensor is borked, or heat coil is borked or similar.
