I don't even know how I updated my phone, I usually wait until Apple takes care of all of their bugs before finally updating. But, somehow I did and now my battery is draining crazy fast! Did it reset one of my background settings? Or is it just Apple trying to get me ditch my phone for their latest model?
iPhone 7, iOS 11.1, 11.1.2
I had the same problem, I managed to fix this by actually seeing what app drained the most battery, I had my phone in battery power mode also and it was draining as h*ll. The default mail app was draining the most around 67% deleted the app and restarted the phone. Everything was back to normal.
You might have giving that a thought already but doesn't hurt to see if that affects anything.

I have Youtube installed and its updated to the latest version.
Is Youtube also causing this?
Started to work at 8 CET today with 100% around 10 CET (2 hours later) the battery was on 20 %.
I could see under battery in settings that the default mail app was draining battery at 67%, the things is that I have the settings to fetch mail when opening the app so its not running in the background, I have also closed this under Settings --> General --> Background App Refresh, but its still draining as ****.
I ended up deleting the app few minutes after 10 CET and now at around 16 CET the battery procent is around 12% I have been using the phone during that time also.
Basically I ended up uninstalling the default mail app and I am using Gmail app now, its seems to have resolved my issue now but surly this should be brought up for a permanent fix in the future.
Similar problem with my iPhone 7 after update to 11.2. Looks like many are experiencing issues. On my phone the battery actually is NOT draining abnormally. Rather, the percentage of battery remaining DISPLAYED is incorrect. If I restart the phone, the percentage displayed is accurate afterwards. For example, went to bed with percentage in 70% range, in morning was 1%. Power cycled the phone and percentage displayed was back to 70%. As a test, I let the phone sit at 1% several hours this morning and it worked just fine all that time. When I eventually restarted it, it displayed in the expected normal range over 60%.
I think my issue was the default mail app.
Dont know why but now 1 week after uinstalling the mail app the battery drains normally.
I also have the same version 11.2.1 and with 11.2 all is great with battery on my iPhone 7 and only after 11.2.1 severe battery drain occurs and need to charge 2x per day to 100%. I have 2 iPhone 7 and have not updated the other due to this issue. After 4 hours standby my 11.2.1 iPhone 7 is at 24% and my 11.2 is at 95%. Very significant difference... both phones are only 1 yr old so if there was firmware introduced to control battery life I would suggest to remove As it is clear the software is causing the problem between my two iPhone 7. I am looking for a way to downgrade to 11.2.
Exactly my experience also. Since 11.2.1 I am losing 80% battery in standby over 2-3 hours. The biggest consumer of battery power is Safari at 38%, but I always swipe close my apps after use.
I expect yet another fix for the 'fix' will be snuck out under the radar shortly.
Do you have YouTube app installed on your phone and is it updated to the latest version?

I have the same problem.
After updating to 11.1.2 the battery drains a lot, i need to charge my phone twice of day.
The mail app drains about 67%, I have uninstalled the default mail app now but still having the problem.
This started to happen when I upgraded my iPhone 7 to 11.1.2
Same issue here on iPhone 7 iOS 11.3.1, background app refresh off , deleted all unused apps.... when I use the phone it drop 10-15 percent in only 10 minuted of use in any app, it’s very frustrating; the absolute worse is when I leave it in my pocket it will always drop to 50% with absolute 0 use (I’m at school)... might want to switch to pixel 2
My phone is draining as well 2x since the last 11.2 update..help Apple!
I'm having the same problem right after I updated to 11.2.1 when I had no battery issues earlier.
It's infuriating!
Having same terrible battery drain problem after installing 11.2.1. Any word on Apple recognizing the problem and fixing it? I’m just about ready to jump ship.
Did this really help?
Will apple issue a patch?
I'd rather have my older iOS version back.
Is there a way of disabling autoupdates? This *****.
