You should visit an Authorised Apple Service Provider and let them diagnose your iPhone battery.

Apple will not replace the battery unless the battery health has dropped beneath 80% or the battery is damaged.

Apple - Find Locations


You can also contact the official Apple Support by phone, they can diagnose your device online.

To do that, choose the phone number for your region from this Apple Support page:
