Battery draining faster after updating to IOS 15.6.1, what is the issue ?

I have noticed a significant battery drain on my iPhone 13 after updating it to IOS 15.6.1. Even when the phone is not much in use it's draining battery. Please fix this issue soon with another update.

What I noticed is you are not charging overnight.


The absolute best way to get maximum use on a charge, as well as slow the decline of battery capacity long term is to enable Optimized Battery Charging (Settings/Battery/Battery Health) and charge the device overnight, every night. The battery will fast charge to 80%, then pause. During the nighttime pause the phone will use mains power instead of battery power, allowing the battery to “rest”, and thus reducing the need to charge the battery quite as often. The phone will resume charging to reach 100% when you are ready to use your phone; it will “learn” your usage pattern. If you enable iCloud Backup (Settings/[your name]/iCloud - iCloud Backup) the phone will back up overnight also, assuring that you can never lose more than the current day’s updates.
