No. I am not having this issue.


Troubleshooting iPhone Battery Drain Info:

The iPhone battery will drain, unless it is plugged in and charging. With lots installed, the charge would be slower. As for how fast it would drain the battery, that would depend on the battery health and the volume (sound) you use.  Go Here: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support - Scroll down to "Your battery's maximum capacity"

The iPhone 6s was made 2015-18 and battery capacity typically declines by 1-2%/month. So an original 3½ year-old battery should have declined by more than the 13% yours indicates.


But 13% is consistent with having "the phone for a little over a year." For that reason it's more likely to be a replacement battery. Hopefully the carrier used a genuine iPhone battery:

...If not, the nongenuine iPhone battery could be the explanation for the fast draining you're seeing. Consider having your iPhone's battery examined:
