I don’t know if this is an iOS 13 thing or what (I was on the betas for months and it was fine), but recently my battery has been a lot worse. I used to always go to bed with around 50%, but maybe 40% at the lowest. And recently, I keep getting down to around 25-30%.

I thought maybe I was just using the device more and didn’t realize it, but then I looked at my battery stats over the past 10 days, and it seems like I’d be averaging around 5 hours of screen time if I used the battery completely. That number used to be around 7 hours.

My phone usage hasn’t changed that I’ve noticed. I’m not using any apps that I didn’t really use before. There’s no app standing out in battery settings that’s been draining my battery or anything. My battery capacity is still at 97%.

Has anyone else experienced this change in their device recently? Any remedies?
 
Apple's Battery Health is a scam. Changing the battery should fix this.
 
My battery went from 7hr SOT to 5hr SOT for within a few weeks with no change in usage, while I still have 97% capacity? No.

How long have you had the phone for? Sudden changes like this generally points to an app or the OS in some kind of error state. Have you tried to pin point any app?!

Could be a software bug. Yes. DFU restore without backup might fix it.
