Did you already try to force restart the iPhone after the latest iOS 26.0.1 update?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


In case this does not help, installing iOS again would be the next step:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to factory settings


After each update, there are still some background activities going on, which may use the battery life in standby.
