Iphone 8 plus battery drain faster after ios 11.2.2. update

Hi, I have been using iPhone 8 plus 256 GB since first week of December 2017. Until iOS 11.2.2 update I had no problem with my phone. However, I have serious battery draining problems now. Battery drains faster than before. Normally my phone used to last at least 11-12 hours with an active usage. After iOS 11.2.2 update now it lasts 9-10 hours barely. I tried lots of things to solve the problem: I restarted my phone, I reset all settings and data, backed up and restored. Also I tried "maximizing battery life and lifespan" tips. None of them worked at all. I'm not sure if my phone works normally or need any technical support. Should I take it to Apple experts to get service or repair? Thanks for the reply and attention.

Apple just release firmware iOS 11.2.5. You may want to consider upgrading to it to see if it can help.
