iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro Max Battery Life Question

Mine has been a little better than yours but I’ve seen many get much better battery life than I am getting. I did a restore two days ago that got rid of nighttime drain but still not getting as great battery life as others.
Right now I have 63 min sot at 90% battery. I think that’s pretty good but some are getting much batter. That’s on Wi-Fi just safari, twitter and YouTube.

Well I have been using a little bit, very small bit of it on LTE..
I think it's been like 8-9 days in total.. How come it gets better in time? Isn't it the other way around?

8-9 days should be more than enough. Been using my 13PM since September 24. Battery life today better than before.
That's cool, but I can see you were using it for quite a while on a charger.. Anyway, for some reason.. my Screen Off time is still showing 4 minutes.. I just don't understand what's going on..This is mine right now. Currently at 67%…
I get 7 hours on my 13" pro Max and that is with 5G off. About the same battery life as my Xs max, but I have learned to live with it. Around 50% is 4.5 hours of usage recently.
I still can't explain the 4m screen off time.. what's that all about.. Does it have to do with having 0 apps turned on in the background app refresh? I always turn off everything there..
Ignore the screen-on and screen-off times that the 24 hour battery usage is telling you. They do not reflect battery life off the charger. Those are cumulative times for the 24 hour period, using a 3 hour moving window and include when your phone is being charged. In order to figure out your battery life, you will need to add up the individual bars after the battery charge has finished.
For the battery usage chart you posted, you got about 3:30, 35% battery used. Estimate for 100% battery usage, 10:00. It looks like you had about 4% battery drain in standby for about 8 hrs, which isn't too bad. You had pretty big battery drain from 9pm to 10pm. Select the 9pm to 10pm to see what apps were running.
Yeah I was the most active at the time. Another thing happened.. an hour ago I was a little over 3,5 hours of screen on time, now when I checked again, it fell back to 2.48.. I am totally confused now..

That's probably because it displays your SOT over the last 24 hours. So every hour it changes, counting the last hour, but "discarding" one hour as well.
Your battery life seems decent / average to me. Pretty much in line with what I think I am getting on my 13P. I would test it out a bit more and compare with others if possible. It's super annoying to me the way Apple / iOS registers the battery life and SOT. Makes no sense and makes it super hard to compare your results to others.
If you want to know your battery life, you need to add up all the individual bars in the 24 hour battery usage chart. It looks like you had about 3:10, 32% battery used. That translate to nearly 11 hours on 100% battery usage. That is pretty good, maybe slightly under where the battery life is impressive.
It moves in 3 hour windows. That is why it shows the major breaks every 3 hours.
Guys thanks for all the answers! I never quite understood those battery graphs.. It’s
a bit more clear now.
