Is iOS 18 causing my battery health to drop despite good charging habits on my iPhone?

My cycle count is at 47 and the battery health is at 97 I do charge my phone till 80 and won’t let it drop below 20 is this happening because of the iOS 18 ?

Your iPhone is expected to drop 1% per 50 charge cycles. When did you purchase this iPhone? But because the newest your iPhone can be is almost 1 year old as the iPhone was discontinued in September of 2024, meaning your iPhone would have been sitting in a box somewhere, which for long-term is not good for the battery health. It surely isn’t happening because of iOS 18, updates don’t degrade battery health.
