Battery Health dropping after charging to 100%

Hello! I bought my iPhone 14 Plus in May and since then after a month the battery health dropped to 99% I charged it once to 100% and it dropped to 98%, last night I forgot it charging over night, I had a very urgent family matter with someone in the hospital and I forgot about my phone, so let me get this straight, If I charge my phone every time to a 100% my battery health drops?! The thing is I'm really upset seeing 97% in my battery health settings, is this a software issue or is the battery (original battery from the factory) malfunctioning, I talked to over 5 Apple Advisers and they all told me my battery is good. I don't think so :( I really want to keep this phone in perfect condition as it's my first iPhone and they're really expensive in my country (not living in the US 😍)

iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 17

The measure of battery health deterioration/drainage is subjective and can vary depending on individual usage patterns. There is no universal standard to determine whether the battery health deterioration/drainage is normal or abnormal because it heavily relies on how the battery is used and maintained.
