battery draining after new update

Just installed latest update on 1/12/21. Battery will not charge past 80% and drains in about an hour with no usage. Any fixes or do we need to wait for another update?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello,

For not charging beyond 80%, see this:

About Optimized Battery Charging on your iPhone

For the rapid draining situation, start with the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Setting > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:

iPhone Battery & Power Repair

Good luck.

Uhm I recently updated to 14.3 and my battery drained for like 20% on an 8 hrs standby which was unusual and tried to contact apple support. They said try to wait maybe 48 hrs, it might be some glitches or bug and so I did and after that my battery was fine for 2 days and only drained like 1-2% on an 8 hrs standby and now the 3rd day it drained 20% again on an 8 hrs standby so lol idk now I'm charging my phone hoping for the best lol
