Greetings bomberpoland,
That's a fantastic question! From the screenshot you shared, it looks as though it was briefly used. during the timeframe you selected. If Siri was briefly accessed, even by accident, this could be why the you're seeing the usage. You can learn more about using Siri via the link below.

Try turning off Siri’s background app refresh. I tried it this morning after a suggestion from Apple tech support. Go to settings/general/background app refresh and turn off Siri. It made a huge difference for me running iOS 16.1.1 on a new iPhone 14 Pro.
bomberpoland,
The usage section showed Siri was unexpectedly using more battery on your device. As the apps used determine battery runtime, completing the steps in the maximization article previously shared can help.
If you continue to have issues after 72 hours of maximizing the steps, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist. iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support
Contact - Official Apple Support

Best.
Thank You so much for advice, I will try to do that.
It is much better than Apple tech support recommendations: erase all settings (didn't help) or reimage / reinstall iOS on iPhone.
Look at the screenshot below - I used phone at the same way... something is wrong.
Unfortunately it didn't help.
but I’m not alone…
iOS 16.1.1 Battery Drain Issues on iPhone - Apple Community
Ok, so why before update I had 70-80% at the end of the day and now I have 5-10% ? I use phone at the same way.
I'm glad, it stopped after updating to 16.2!!!
Yes.
but I need more time (one / two weeks) for testing to confirm that problem is indeed resolved.
