iPhone XS battery draining way too fast on ios 16.2

I bought an iphone xs in november 2022 and the battery lasted ok with ios 15.7, but when i upgraded to ios 16 the battery was draining with like 50% faster. Yesterday i resetted all settings because i thought i had a setting turned on that was draining my battery. Today, i had my phone at 60 at 09:25 and after EXACTLY five minutes (09:30)the battery dropped to 49% WITHOUT EVEN USING IT!!!

I also dont have widgets and background app refresh is turned on. Whats happening?!??

DeependraHada ~ "Battery drain" issues are better assessed individually on a case-by-case basis. So I suggest you start a new thread so that you can provide details specific to your device. This will allow the original poster's issue to be assessed more clearly.

And, again, go to Settings > General > About

...Below 'Serial Number' there, does it say anything about the battery?

Such a high 98% capacity in an XS implies the battery may not be the original one. Do you know whether the battery has been replaced? ...If so, was it replaced by a qualified technician using a genuine iPhone battery?...

And when you enter the details of that "specialist" at the website below, is the result a big, green ✅?

And, unless I overlooked it, Apple doesn't show flip.ro here:

87 iPhone sales locations near Bucharest, Romania

I was going to suggest a restore to factory settings, but you wrote: "Yesterday i resetted all settings" – so I can only suggest Apple's Service & Support here:

dariusescu ~ What's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging

Also, go to Settings > General > About

...Below 'Serial Number' there, does it say anything about the battery?

It seems that many generations of iPhone have had the problem of the battery draining quicker than usual with the new iOS 16 update. It is probably due to the fact that with so many features of iOS 16 it uses more battery power than pass iOS updates.
