It might say that it is at 100%, but it is not at 100%. You have a defective / failed battery and its real condition is not being displayed correctly.
If you want to keep the phone, make an appointment at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or take the phone in to an authorized Apple service shop to have the battery replaced. About $90 (U.S.)

Those are classic indications of an iPhone battery nearing the end of it’s useful life.
If it’s the original battery in your upper-middle-aged phone, it’s almost certainly the case.
Battery health <80% is a sure indication if this is indeed the case.
