Hello,
 
Weird/Odd. Hot iPhone 13's iOS v17.6 (updated from iOS v17.5.1
yesterday) battery power percentage dived from recharged 88% to 23%
from 6 PM to 9:30 PM while out to eat dinner in a crowded
restaurant and commute to there and back home. Battery statistics
said it was hot to recharge at 88% max. Usage shows "Find My" and
weak cellular using half in the background for the first hour, but
after that was just "Find My".  Battery health shows 89% which is
normal for this iPhone from 2/1/2022.  What's going on? Is this a
new bug or something? :/

Higher than normal battery drain is expected with a new version of
ios as the caches and indexes get refreshed.

Give it a day or so to settle down.

Is it supposed to run even when on battery only when not at home? It

at home. :(

It happens regardless. And this has been standard practice for all
iPhones since the beginning, Ant. Your memory is really short. In the
future, plan ahead before installing updates or deal with the decrease
in performance until things return to normal.
