Because at the first week (before I updated to 15.1 and back to 15.0.2) the battery was amazing! 3 hours screen on 90%If you get 4:20 SOT with 68% left I wouldn't be complaining about battery life.. Why do you think you have a problem? Maybe you should read this thread:

The battery life on the 13 Pro Max is utterly insane.
Just wow. Past 10ths SOT and still have 40% left. Coming from a XS max, this is just phenomenal. I’m really glad that Apple decided to focus on bigger batteries than thin phones. Update: I don’t think anyone would need to charge this thing more than once every two nights. 55% left today. No...forums.macrumors.com
I, too, had the impression that the battery was worse since updating to iOS 15.0.2 and then 15.1.Because at the first week (before I updated to 15.1 and back to 15.0.2) the battery was amazing! 3 hours screen on 90%
Almost 8 hours screen on and 65%? WOWI, too, had the impression that the battery was worse since updating to iOS 15.0.2 and then 15.1.
So I went with a restore with an ipsw of 15.1 on my Mac and now the battery life is as it was in the beginning.

And for instance, with today’s usage and 65% battery left when the screenshot was taken:
As you can see on the screenshot there is some usage from last night when the phone was charging (circled in red). It’s more or less 1h45 so it’s more like 6h of usage and 65% left.Almost 8 hours screen on and 65%? WOW
My 5 hours and 41%
Did you use a iCloud backup when you restored the phone. I’ve been considering this also.I, too, had the impression that the battery was worse since updating to iOS 15.0.2 and then 15.1.

No I didn’t use a iCloud backup. Restored from scratch as most of my apps already sync their data outside of iCloud backup, but in iCloud, so I retrieved all of it.Did you use a iCloud backup when you restored the phone. I’ve been considering this also.
Thanks. I’m getting ok battery life but compared to what some are getting it’s not as good. I mainly just use twitter, safari and YouTube. I lose about 10% battery per hour of screen time. Not sure if that’s good or not but I’ve seen some say they are getting 6-7 and not even using 40% of there battery.No I didn’t use a iCloud backup. Restored from scratch as most of my apps already sync their data outside of iCloud backup, but in iCloud, so I retrieved all of it.
I’d like to add that the battery usage is with 5G auto. As 5G consumes more battery, with 4G only it should be even better.
Had exactly the same feeling that’s why I did a restore.The first few days I had the phone my battery life was much better until the first update after release.
So we have similar batteries?As you can see on the screenshot there is some usage from last night when the phone was charging (circled in red). It’s more or less 1h45 so it’s more like 6h of usage and 65% left.
Also I used tiktok for like 1 hour today and as you can see it’s the app that used the most energy. Safari with 1h45 of usage today used less energy (16%).
The graph and the screen on/off time shows all usage in the last 24h, whether the phone was charging or on battery.
This seems really good to me.Same on my side as well . My 13 pro max at 70% after 4hr SOT with wifi only, dark mode, and most of the location is off like find my etc. brightness at around 30-35%
Dont know its good. Purchased last week.
But yes i last charged before 36 hours from now.
Night drain is around 3-4%
Had exactly the same feeling that’s why I did a restore.I did a erase all and just restored from a backup and because my computer was at work
My computer was at work so last night did a erase all and just restored from a backup just for kicks. I’m at 1hr 50min SOT at 85% battery. That’s much better than I was getting. Also had zero battery drain overnight. I was losing about 6-7% overnight.Had exactly the same feeling that’s why I did a restore.
I turn off Background app refresh and disable all notifications in most apps still same battery lifeas long as you can charget it to 100%, you are fine.
Try to turn off background app and location, also dark model will help you gain more juice
