Iphone XR battery drain

Guys it’s been such a headache for almost a month now. Coming from a 6s with no such issues for 2& half years. My brand new iPhone XR was barely 6 weeks old and battery life was amazing. Could go for 40+ hours with a single charge without a doubt. I forgot to turn off automatic updates feature and ever since 12.3.1 was installed my phone drains 1% per 15 minutes in both standby and airplane mode regardless day or night. Previously it would drain 3% tops overnight for example and now if I sleep at 10pm and wake at 6am it would literally drain 30+. Tried going through so many apple discussions and reddit forums. Did try everything from a soft restart to a DFU reset. The problem still exists. And surprisingly none of these single discussions (way back since 2013) have a proper remedy or an aftermath addressed by the original person of the thread. Are any of you facing a problem such as mine?

Hope to update to 12.4 via iTunes as soon as it’s released to the public.

iPhone XR, iOS 12

Hello, Sandeep1995.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that the battery in your new iPhone XR isn't performing the way you expect it to and the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far haven't resolved the issue.

There are adjustments you can make on your iPhone to maximize the time between charges: Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple

You can also monitor app usage to see if a specific app setting is causing the battery usage at night: About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If making adjustments to your settings doesn't resolve the issue, check your battery health or reach out to Apple Support here: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support

Take care.
