Battery consumption of home and lock screen

I'm using an iPhone 17 Pro. When I looked at which apps were using the battery, I saw that the home and lock screens were the ones using the most battery. With 32 minutes of screen time, it had consumed 8% of its battery. Does anyone know a solution?

It did not consume 8% of the battery, It consumed 8% of the total of energy used since the phone was charged. For example, if the battery was at 50% then Home & Lock screen consumed 4% of the battery. And it uses energy as long as the phone is unlocked.
