Anyone else experience this? My phone isn’t holding it’s battery since the new update I did this week ago.

Battery went from 55% to 23% in the last two hours without using it for more than 10 min total.

What iPhone do you have ?
 
I’ve noticed my iPhone 11 Pro tends to waste more battery faster after updates. My capacity was at 91% I believe at the time but now I have a new battery and phone since I had to replace my old 11 Pro after a drop.
 
iPhone 11 Pro Max. Battery life was great. Now it’s garbage. I’ve had to charge 3x a day now since the update.
 
Check in the Battery usage to see what may be using up your battery. I also have an 11 Pro Max and the latest 13.5.1 seems to be giving me slightly better battery life to be honest.

Try to turn off location service. System customization and significant location consuming a lot of battery after the new update.
 
Have a look at battery usage by app. I had a weird problem after the upgrade killing my battery - I’m not sure the upgrade was the cause but it was co-incidental. Siri was using huge amounts of power, like 30-40% total. I don’t ever have the permanent keyword listen on, just the button-activate on. So I switched it off. Problem solved. I’ve since turned it back on, and the problem has not returned. I’ve done a couple of reboots. Very odd.
 
Mine is still good after the update. Haven’t noticed any unusual drainage even with my heavy usage. Hopefully the next update will sort that out if you have already disabled the battery draining settings.
 
My avg screen on time has dropped by 1 full hour per the battery usage yet my phones battery gets drained faster.
 
I have the same issue with my 11 Pro Max. I never had any Problems before. I used significant Locations for a while without any noticeable battery drain. I just turned significatn location off 2 days and my battery is fine again. Very strange. So I have to live without optimized battery charging...
