Why does my iPhone drain randomly even when my smart battery case has some charge? Drains to 78% and back to 100%

This phenomenon happens once in a week or once in 2 weeks or so here is a screen capture in the battery menu from general under settings.

I have a XS Max with a Smart Battery Case

Sounds like Smart Charging. There's a setting somewhere in there for Smart Charge, buy which your device learns usage patterns and stops at 80% during upward charging, then pushes the last 20% just before it expects you to pull the charger and load the battery. I would guess if you're in the <wait at 80%> time slot it will also do a hold at 80% during discharge (78% is close enough!).
