Yep I tried resetting all settings, used the phone for 15 mins non stop and the battery % didn't drain at all.
Got a tip for us?

I would say just make sure you are backing up on a regular schedule.

@LFC2020 Thanks for the heads up. This is probably the most annoying bug.
The longer battery life has created the situation of not knowing if the battery is just getting great battery life or your battery percentage is stuck. 😁 This morning when I took the phone off the charger, it stayed where it was for 2 hours before the percentage dropped by 1%. See the problem there?

The 100% charge does take a while to come down. I was playing with my phone in bed for an hour and it stayed at 100%
When I checked in coconut battery, it suggests that the actual battery capacity is greater than the design capacity, which makes sense that the 100% didn’t drop for a while.
Why hard reboot, did the phone freeze up? Doing a hard reboot will force the phone to shutdown without doing its usual cleanup on shutdown. That is why the hard reboot is instaneous where the normal restart takes time to shutdown.
I stay on betas and they tend to be bug filled so it’s just easy for me to do this to give myself a fresh start daily.
It cleans cache and stuff, so yes it does. I also stay on betas (dev 15.1 b2 rn) and they’re filled with bugs so it just helps.
Normal restart is volume up,down power and hold till you see the shut down slider or go to settings.
Hard reboot is when you hold vol up/down power past seeing the shut down slider and it turns off, you keep holding past that till you see the apple logo then let go.
The speed with which it shuts down, that is interesting to know. Can you point me to a document that indicates this because from what I have read, a normal shutdown should clear the OS system cache.

That is a normal shutdown, not a hard forced shutdown. There are 2 types of shutdown, normal which is what you did and a forced shutdown. The hard forced shutdown does not display the shutdown slider, the phone just shuts down.
Yes that’s my understanding as well. Hence Apple probably only implemented it for the freeze scenario and doesn’t mention it elsewhere on their site or documentation . I don’t pull the chord out of my iMac either if I don’t have to.
But if there’s a measurable advantage to this procedure I fail to see I’ll keep an open ear.
I have rebooted a couple times and so far I don't have any issues.
Tried everything when it happened to me, nothing worked. 🤦♂️ only restoring my device fixed it.
Nothing here guys. I actually rebooted twice yesterday because I had Verizon move me over to the eSIM which worked without an issue.
I was actually coming to post that my battery concerns were moot. Yesterday, I went 12 hours without a charge and I only dropped to somewhere between 60-65% after above normal use. Will keep an eye on this, but nothing so far. Sorry this happened to you.

I don’t understand, what exactly is the problem? I’ve rebooted my phone multiple times at least 5 times. Matter of fact I just rebooted it just now since I just replaced that annoying ass screen protector edge that’s not sitting flush.
Glitches, glitches, everywhere there is glitches. I have encountered a few myself. Nothing as drastic as needing to restore my phone. Hope the 15.1 update fixes most of these glitches.
We both have faulty phones mate 😂 same exact model. 😳😂
