After the 18.4 update, my phone battery is depleting faster and i can only charge via wireless. Not only that, my phone has started to lag and become unresponsive at times. Using my phone for more than 10 minutes also makes it hot.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
Battery draining fast after update: After an update, your iPhone has to complete many tasks in the background, mainly indexing where your iPhone is sorting and managing a searchable database of your millions of bytes of data. This can cause the iPhone to work extra hard and as a result cause they battery to drain faster. After a few days it should go back to normal.
iPhone is “overheating”: When you also use your iPhone, especially running high-intensity tasks, it can once again also generate increased heat. This is all normal. Unless your iPhone is seeing a temperature warning message, which would shut down the iPhone and prevent you from using it, your iPhone is not “overheating”. That heat being generated is rather normal.
iPhone won’t charge: When your iPhone doesn’t charge, this usually means there is debris or lint blocked in the charging port preventing you from plugging in a cord. As a result, use a flashlight and a thin toothpick to carefully get any of that out.
iPhone is slow: Try a Forced Restart to address the lag and performance issues.

Lastly if you’re still having issues, note that your iPhone 16 Pro Max is still under the 1 year limited manufacturers warranty, so I suggest you get service at your nearest Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Which problem? You stated many and I gave answers to all of them. But only some of them are problems that may need service, and others are normal occurrences.
