The battery in my iPhone 14 Pro,  purchased October 2022, is now down to
maximum capacity 86%, which severely limits the length of any charge.  I
must say that I'm surprised at this after only 18 months.  Oh well.  And
I'm not a troll, my name isn't the mythical "Arlen", and my battery
really is down to 86%.

 
What is your question?
You simply mistreated the battery of your phone. Quite simple. My iPhone
14 is running 24/7 since I bought it in November 22. The battery
performance level is still 100% according to the device.

I call bullshit. No matter how well you treat a battery it *will* lose
capacity over time. In nearly 18 months of regular use the battery will
have lost at least a few percent.

My 13, bought in Mar 23, is at 95% and I know I don't abuse my phones.

My iPhone SE bought in August last year is also at 95%, which I think
is reasonable.

I don't believe I abuse the battery in any way, but the phone
certainly gets used a lot during most of the working day. Maybe some
would consider that to be abuse, with the only right way to treat a
phone being to keep it untouched in a drawer. I'm sure mine would
still be at 100% if I did that.
