iOS 12.5.3 battery drain in iPhone 5s

I have an old iPhone 5s that was working perfectly until the last iOS 12.5.3 update. Now the battery is dropping really quickly (100% to 0% in 20~30 minutes). Is anyone else having the same issue?

Hello,

These are the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

Good luck.
