iPhone SE 2020 randomly shuts down every 2 minutes

I have had this iPhone for about 2 1/2 years now and it keeps shutting down. My mom has had this problem when she upgraded to a iPhone 11 but she had to get a new one and I don't won’t to buy another one. Is there a reason why my phone is doing this?

iPhone SE, iOS 17
