It's so erratic though, in the past the FindMy.app would run all night with 1-5% drain. But now..the drain is bad - only assume because the battery itself is just bad.
If you only disable find my network, everything including airtags do work with the traditional find my with the internet, but you lose the ability to find your iPhone, watch or Mac when they're switched off or offline. You're basically opting out of the find my 'mesh' network that Apple introduced with 14.6. If you keep this on, your device keeps pinging and picks up pings from other other devices in its vicinity and that's how you can find stuff. I'm still not sure how/if airtags work with others near its vicinity, but it does how up under my devices and I can continually see its location, so I'm fine with it.
I accidentally left mine off the charger overnight. In the past, when the battery was ok or even down to 98, 97% I was doing this to try and help the "health". - only losing 1-2% in the past...some nights 10-15% for whatever mind boggling reason.
But this point with 83% health I just don't care I have to keep it charged.
Woke up and it drained 30% just sitting here from 12:15 to 8:20.
Yeah Apple...this is "normal"
This "Find My..." app just constantly runs non-stop, even before getting an Air Tag.
I took some photos, video yesterday briefly for 20-30 min (that other dramatic dip in life mid day Sat.), the drain on the battery in that short period of time is utterly sad.

I've been fast-charging since the iPhone X and my launch day iPhone 12 Pro is now at 90%. It took my Xs & X at least 2.5 years to drop to 90% and they were fast-charged since day 1.
This is true.
Same behaviour here. I’ve always fast charged my iPhones especially my X and 11 pro. Did the same with my 12 pro. Now that I have a new battery on my 12 Pro im gonna use the 5 watt charger exclusively, hopefully it makes a difference.
Did your battery fall below 80% health or did Apple replace it before it did?
I am not sure it will make much of a difference.
My battery was at 89%. I paid to replace it and it took 3 trips to different apple stores to finally get it done. So far the battery is back to what it was when I first got the phone back in October of last year. I’m getting about about 1-2 hours more screen time now. Average of 9.5-10 hours usage.
I agree I don’t think it will make much difference. But I figure at least I’m doing my best to preserve the battery health. I also don’t use 5G anymore. I switched carriers back in may and don’t have 5G coverage any more. I always thought 5G was draining my battery, but it can’t even be used so I guess its not that.
Right, I Qi charged my XS Max...the health was fine. Only crazy drain I had was LAST Summer, around late June, early July with severe battery drain. This turned out to be glitchy iOS, running apps in the background. (My XSMax Apple Smart battery case I bought...well that was a waste.)
I don't even use MagSafe charging... The problem might be with the 20w charger itself. The phone gets significantly hot when charging, and that might be the issue. When I get my battery changed, I'm sticking to the 5w charger.
I’m on iOS 15 Candidate release, iPhone 12 Pro Max since November 13, battery life 89%
Mine was a launch day 12 Pro Max and I also am at 89%. I tend to be quite easy on my batteries and this is unusual.
