Battery capacity
In a month, the phone lost 3% battery capacity. When I charge the phone he's heated. What to do ?

How long has it been since the phone was new? An iPhone on average will lose about 1% per month.
The phone will get warm when charging; it’s called the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Anything that creates or uses energy does so with some loss. That lost energy is expressed as heat. So when you charge the phone it generates heat in the power source, heat in the charger circuit in the phone, and heat as the energy goes into the battery. The faster the charging, the more heat is generated. Likewise when you discharge the battery; not all of the energy from the battery gets to the circuits that use it. Some of it becomes heat.
If you use the cellular network for voice or data, converting energy to radio frequency signals is very wasteful; only about 30% of the energy that goes into the network components comes out as radio signals, the other 70% becomes heat. And signal strength matters; a 1 bar signal requires that the phone boost its transmitter power to maintain a connection, and it isn’t linear. 1 bar uses 10 times as much energy as 4 bars. You didn’t mention your phone model, but an iPhone 12 or newer (including SE 3rd edition) with a 5G signal uses about twice as much energy as an LTE signal, and 5G towers are still not as densely distributed as LTE, so the signal is likely to be weaker, compounding the problem.
As I explained in the post you responded to, yes, if you fast charge it will get warmer than if you use a lower capacity power source.
I have the same issue that this people could not explain.
my iphone 14 pro is 2mos old and my battery health is down to 96% already.
seems like 2% down per month.
i am not using my phone the whole day because when i am working i dont really check my phone. So i believe it is not overuse. And i always charge it at 40%.
in my iphone 11 that I got last 2020, my battery health only decrease from 100-99% after 5mos.
this batt health issue Makes me regret upgrading phone.
I charge Iphone 14 Pro 20w charging. Get on because of fast charging iphone heat up ?
