Very High cpu usage

Since last night(it’s 2 am rn) my phones cpu usage is unusually high and it’s almost always running at maximum frequency 50% and over @ 2244mhz(rn as I’m typing this it’s at 100% usage @2.2 ghz) sometimes it goes to regular at about 1056 MHz but still with a high cpu usage of over 60%. At the moment I’m running the youtube app only in the background while using safari to write this, so I don’t see any reason for the cpu to be at max speed, I’ll attach a screenshot .Edit: because of this the phone overheats quicker when doing regular activities like browsing or watching YouTube videos which in turn makes the battery drain faster, I’ve tried restarting already about an hour ago.

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Thanks for your reply but most of those I already do, I think there’s another underlying problem here, something is causing the cpu to work more than usual. I’ve been running youtube in the background for months even while doing other things and the cpu never had to work so hard before. Btw my battery capacity is at 83% it went from 84 to 83 in two months so I think I’m doing moderately good in maintaining battery health

Protect & Prolong life of your iPhone's Battery:

Put on Low Power Mode
Put Auto Lock On (1 min):- with low power mode it will be 30 Sec
Put Auto Answer Off
Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
Manually lower brightness from Control Center
If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
Location services to be allowed only while using the app
Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
Turning off Background App Refresh
Charge before it drops below 20-30%
Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
Periodically Check your Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
