Does anyone know of a way or an app to display screen on time since last charge? The battery page in settings displays “last 24 hours” or “last 2 days”, but not “since last plugged in”. Thanks!
 
This has been the case since iOS 12. Are you coming from Android?

There is no direct way. You need to learn to do a little math. There are shortcuts to get an approx idea quicker.

Honestly it is kind of good to stop obsessing over it. If my battery lasts me all day, it is good. If it doesn't, it aint. I'm kind of digital that way.

For me no iPhone can last a single day unless I charge in the middle of the day. Even the 11 Pro Max or 12 Pro Max can’t. Recently I have been using 1.5+ cycles a day on my iPhone 11 Pro.

No, I’m coming from a 2017 iPhone X which I haven’t needed to check for that information in years. Was more a curiosity of mine to see how well the 12 pro max does in comparison.
 
The new method isn‘t exactly the same as the old method. This is too much to type. Read articles from the time of iOS 12.
 
Basically don’t use your phone past midnight. Start your day afresh with a clean slate. Don’t charge in the middle of the day or at least until you’re made your measurements for the day. Then check today’s Data.
