 If you received a phone around 3 years ago, how well is it doing for you?

I "received" my Pixel5a after google "received" my money :-)
Its battery generally has done well, sometimes lasting over 3 days, see screenshots

There was a month where an android firmware upgrade made it very thirsty, so I had to enable maximum power savings and that would barely last 1 day, but it was fixed.
Now it's not particularly good, I'm not sure if that's battery age, because it started rather suddenly, which seemed to coincide with all mobile networks turning off 3G here, perhaps it's wasting a lot of power listening for signals that are no longer there?
