Battery Health issue with the iPhone 12 Pro

I have an iPhone 12 Pro which I just bought 26 days ago. I bought it refurbished with battery health at 98%. It dropped to 93% yesterday. Is this normal? Should I exchange my phone? Is my battery boosted? There is a consistent pattern where my battery health drops by 1% every 4 to 5 days. I’m really worried, pleasure help me out.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

If you bought this "refurbished" from Apple you have the same one year warranty as any new iPhone.

I would not be concerned about 93%— I would not expect a linear drop in battery capacity...
