What you describe is often caused by a battery that has dropped to 80% Battery Health or lower. That SE is probably 3-4 years old or more, and the battery on average goes about 2 years before it needs replacement.


What does it look like? Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Maximum Capacity


If the Battery Health is 83-84% it is getting close.


Perform a Forced Restart.........Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Follow the instructions very carefully


With a Forced Restart, there are only 2 possible results:


1) The phone returns to normal operation

2) The phone has a hardware problem that will need to be checked out at the Apple Store or authorized Apple Service shop
