Found this on another thread How to Stop Battery Draining on iPhone After a Recent IOS Update and it's been a game changer, battery which was reducing 20 to 30% in 1 hour of basic usage now reduces only 15%. I will update you on which adjustment helped alot as I am currently testing on it as I don't want to disable some features so will update soon here.

This is a common complaint after EVERY major update, along with "my phone is hot", just do a search. People don't understand that after an major update, there is a lot of work being done in the background for 12-36 hours, depending on the amount of data stored on your iPhone. Give it time to do it's work and you will see a return to normal. It's not a bug and it is nothing Apple "needs" to fix.

Issues started with iOS 17.5xx and continued with iOS 18. Battery is dying in front on my eyes even if all “hacks” to reduce battery consumption have been applied. Worst of all I had 98% battery health (maximum capacity in my 14 pro max) and almost one month after faulty upgrades max capacity went down to 94%.

Thank you apple…
