Home and Lock Screen issues a lot of time involves Widgets. The Widgets developers have not updated them. The Widgets are constantly accessing via WiFi or cellular, services they use. This could be weather, fitness, banking etc. Either delete all non Apple Widgets and add them back one by one until you find the battery drain or wait for the widget to get updated.


There are other possibilities too.
