If you have never had your batter replaced on the iPhone 13, it is most likely about that time. If you see your Maximum Capacity below 80%, then schedule an appointment at Apple or Authorized Apple Service provider.

Otherwise, review the apps that are consuming your battery by going to Setting > Battery, and choose the option for the last 24 hours to view App Activity. Meta apps have been suspect with buggy updates to their software.


If you have not updated to iOS 18.3 yet, make sure you do that to see if it helps.
