So yesterday I notice my phone gives me a low battery warning outta nowhere. I use my phone throughout the day to listen to pods/music but have never had it drain that low before at the end of the workday. I mean maybe the lowest its ever been after a full charge the night before it would get down to like 40% maybe by the time I got home.

I noticed as I'm using my phone after i charged it back up that the battery drain is bad, like scroll my phone for a few minutes and battery meter is just going down percentage point.

I've tried looking at my battery usage to see if any apps I might use is causing it, doesn't seem to be. I have brightness turned down, phone is up to date (iOS 14.4) tried powering it down/restarting just to see if maybe something was outta whack..didn't help.

not entirely sure what else it could be, have had the phone numerous months. any ideas?
 
I will say the battery for the SE 2020 is bad. I used mine sparingly for the first 8 months I had it. Battery drained quick and the battery health is at 96%. Any other iPhone I had had longer life and better battery percentage especially considering I am a light user of smart phones.
