iPhone 17 battery issue- 2% dropped for 47 cycles. Suggest me some tips.

On average, an iPhone battery loses "about" 1% in battery health. But that decline isn't linear and is reported only in whole numbers, not fractions of numbers. The chances are you battery is at 98.9%, but would be reported as 98%. The fact is you cannot stop battery health decline. There are things you can do.

1. Never let the battery fully deplete as that prematurely ages batteries.
2. Avoid running the battery below 20% for the same reason.
3. DO, plug your phone in to charge at night when you go to bed and leave it plugged in ALL night, EVERY night, with Optimized Battery Charging turned on. Most of us senior members do NOT use Charge Limits at all.

5. Read this --> When to charge your iPhone or iPad - Apple Community

Stop worying over the natural and normal decline in battery health. When your battery dips to 80% or below, that's the day you pay Apple to replace the battery and the clock starts all over.

The measure of battery health deterioration/drainage is subjective and can vary depending on individual usage patterns. There is no universal standard to determine whether the battery health deterioration/drainage is normal or abnormal because it heavily relies on how the battery is used and maintained.
