iOS update 15.7.8 has messed up my phone charging and battery performance

My iPhone 7 plus was working well till I updated it to the latest OS.

It charges so slow or not at all and if it does charge, it discharges very fast.

I feel like this is one of the updates meant to get you to upgrade to a new device which I do not like at all.

Am I the only one facing this issue? Might anyone know how this can be fixed since I cannot downgrade or uninstall the update?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15
