Stop trying to micromanage your iPhone battery management. It SHOULD be at 96% after 195 charge cycles (as the battery of an iPhone 15 has a life of 1000 cycles to stay above 80%, that works out to losing 1% for every 50 cycles). And, rather than being a nice digital process, batteries are analog, which is nasty and inconsistent.

It might have dropped from 98.0% to 97.9%......a drop of only .1%.....but it looks like it dropped 1% because Apple rounds down any tenths of a percent.

So far, your battery is still doing better than average. You should be very happy. Check it again in 6 months or so. You will drive yourself crazy if you are checking the battery all the time.
