    Have you tried fully discharging it? It depends on the specific battery management system in your phone, but my Pixel 7a doesn’t take being kept at 30-60% battery too well and loses track of the actual charge level. AccuBattery was reporting about 80% capacity on it after two months.

    Then I decided to let it fully discharge and found out that the thing just refuses to die at 1% - that last percent took me about the same time to discharge as going from 20% to 1%. And now I’m back to 98% capacity reported by AccuBattery and the actual battery life has improved noticeably.

      Interesting, I will try this. I have only let it die like twice. Restart regularily, but not letting it die. I don’t use my phone enough maybe 😅 SoT still isn’t bad though at a reported 6 hours from accubattery. 80% of what it was at start.
