My iPhone 14pro max battery health has drained significantly to 89% with just 10 months of usage. The iOS version I’m using is 16.7.2. What could be the cause for the battery drain and what should I do ? Thank you

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
For starters, Battery Health is relative to when your iPhone was new, a newer iPhone will result in higher battery health. Batteries of iPhone 14 models and earlier are designed to retain 80 percent of their original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles under ideal conditions.
The iPhones are also average to drop 1% battery health per month, sometimes more or less. So with your 10 months of usage, this is pretty normal, at 89%. When your battery reaches 80% or below, get it replaced.
What I can suggest is you always update to the latest iOS software to preserve battery health, as you are on iOS 16 right now, with the current being iOS 17.6.1.

First and foremost, if you are using your iPhone while it is charging, it will heat up much more significantly and aggressively drain the battery.

All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective as they chemically age.
Recent software updates can accelerate that process by adding features that consume more power.
As lithium-ion batteries chemically age, the amount of charge they can hold diminishes, resulting in shorter amounts of time before a device needs to be recharged.
Apple won’t replace the battery until it reaches 80% capacity.

Normal aging; they typically lose 1% a month. When it's gone below 80%, get the battery replaced.
