I have bought my iphone 15 in Aug 2024. Currently my Battery Macimum Capacity is 99% and the Cycle Count is 164.
I used to charge my iphone once daily and it was fine. But, for the last couple of days, i have to charge my phone more than 2 times.
is it normal or my iphone’s battery is draining down fast ??

Installing new software may result in temporary increase of background tasks as things are being reevaluated. I usually plug in my phone when updating software and leave it plugged in since updating apps thend to require more power than the phone just lying dormant.
If you are referring to battery health with those percentages, even rechargeable batteries wear down with use. Don't obsess about battery health.
To learn about maximizing (and the difference between) battery life and lifespan, read this support document --> Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
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
According to the above quoted information, you could be losing almost 2% per month the entire first year before Apple would deem this to merit a warranty replacement.
Did you recently update your iOS version or install a lot of apps that needed updating?
Yes, i just updated the iOS version today morning. For the apps, i have installed a cricket game, but i installed that 2 weeks back. Battery was working fine then.
Now, with 164 cycle count & today just a while back i saw the Maximum Capacity got reduced to 99% which was 100% till yesterday. Is this fine or do i need to visit Service Centre.
iPhone 15's battery draining faster than expected
