iPhone battery drain since iOS 15.7.1 update

Did the "critical" update last night and now battery power is dropping like a rock. Happened a few updates ago as well. That required an additional update to rectify the battery drain issue.

For the first 72 hours after an update while the phone is reindexing spotlight it will use more battery. If it persists after that go to Settings > Battery > Health and see what the percentage is. If it is 80% or lower you need a new battery.
