iPhone X Battery life on iPhone X tanking and not sure why

[ideal.dreams]

I've had my iPhone X since launch, so coming up on two months now. Battery life has been exceptional, with most days finishing up at around 8+ hours of usage with roughly 10-15% remaining.

Recently I've noticed the battery life has been absolutely horrible. I'm noticing the phone sitting around 65% battery with only 2-3 hours of usage, suggesting only 4-6 hours on a full charge. That's nowhere near what I've been getting.

Anyone experiencing a similar issue? Any suggestions to fix?

Did you check Settings -> Battery?

Yes, first thing I did and after finding no damning apps or reason for the battery drain, I posted here.

My X seems to be getting the same great battery use as it did when new. Have not noticed any drop.

Is the screen brightness cranked all the way up?

Sounds like your usage is the same as before. Perhaps there was a bad update. Try updating through itunes with the next update.

You need to check any new apps installed.

Also, I would let the battery drain until it’s dead and then charge it to 100%.

Still lose about 10% per hour as when I first bought the X. Understanding they hang at 100% for awhile. Screen is cranked up to 100% when I watch movies. Maybe 4 days a week 1-2 hours each of those days. But, about 70% during normal usage. Watching the movies doesn't seem to impact battery drain. At least not that I can tell.

Are you on 11.2.1? This messed up my battery Life on my x. The first beta of 11.2.5 fixed mine. Second beta has messed it up again ahah
