How to fix overnight battery drain on iphone xs?

Before going to sleep. I leave my phone at 80% then when I woke up and check it in the morning. It gets down to 70%. Is it normal or an issue on hardware/software?

iPhone XS, iOS 15

You should be charging overnight, every night; it will extend the useful life of your battery. The absolute best way to get maximum use on a charge, as well as slow the decline of battery capacity long term is to enable Optimized Battery Charging (Settings/Battery/Battery Health) and charge the device overnight, every night. The battery will fast charge to 80%, then pause. During the nighttime pause the phone will use mains power instead of battery power, allowing the battery to “rest”, and thus reducing the need to charge the battery quite as often. The phone will resume charging to reach 100% when you are ready to use your phone; it will “learn” your usage pattern. If you enable iCloud Backup (Settings/[your name]/iCloud - iCloud Backup) the phone will back up overnight also, assuring that you can never lose more than the current day’s updates.
