iPhone 13 battery draining rapidly and shutting off

My iPhone 13 has been going flat really quickly. Today my phone when from 54% to 30 in ~10 minutes and when my phone gets to 10-20% it automatically turns off and goes flat despite how much charge you’d assume is left. How should I fix it?

Check the status of your battery as follows:


Tap Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging


If the Maximum Capacity is 80% or less, the battery needs to be replaced. Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop.

What is it's battery health?


Read this support article about iPhone battery and performance to learn about the battery health feature and what is considered normal performance --> iPhone battery and performance - Apple Support

To see the feature go to: Settings > Battery > Battery Health


"A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge." A degraded battery may display the notice: "Your battery’s health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity." If it is not at or above 80% "normal", consider contacting Apple about a battery replacement. --> iPhone Battery Replacement - Apple Support
