iPhone 11 Pro Battery Health Degrading

I use my handset as and when I need to. I put it on charge using an iPad charger daily whenever I am at my desk. Sometimes I need the charge, sometimes I do not as battery is at 60% or above, but I put it on anyways. I really don't take any extra special care for the battery at all, yet my battery health is at 99%.
Personally I think people stress about battery health way too much. A drop from 97% to 96% health will hardly be noticeable in day to day usage, unless your mind is playing tricks on you!
Ignore it. Use the phone as intended. Its still under warranty - if its gets really low in a few months, or towards the end of the warranty period, then take it in for replacement. If Apple diagnostics currently state there is no issue then its unlikely Apple will do anything about it anyways.
Stop worrying and enjoy the phone.

I think thats the right way... wait a few months, use your phone.. and after a few months take a look again.. if it is above 80% everything is ok.
The iPhone battery health app isn't accurate. It's only a guess. And coconut battery definitely isn't accurate. There's no way any engineer has figured out a way to accurately calculate remaining battery health of a Lithium ion battery. They're all estimates.
I'd give its accuracy a +- 8%

i had the same problem with my iphone xs... after about 2 weeks the battery capacity showed about 98%... after a few weeks it dropped to 96%... but at 96% there was no change, even after a month...
i would suggest to watch the battery capacity every week, maybe it stands still at 96%
you have warranty for the battery when it gets under 80% in one year.
Here is a link from the apple homepage:
Depending upon the length of time between when the iPhone was made and when it is activated, your battery capacity may show as slightly less than 100%.
Your battery's maximum capacity
The Battery Health screen includes information on maximum battery capacity and peak performance capability.
Maximum battery capacity measures the device battery capacity relative to when it was new. A battery will have lower capacity as the battery chemically ages which may result in fewer hours of usage between charges. Depending upon the length of time between when the iPhone was made and when it is activated, your battery capacity may show as slightly less than 100%.
A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge.
I don't know what to take out of this

Okay.
What if the battery health gets reduced again.?
Then what i should do.?
Then that capacity loss is not normal. You should just use it the way you like. If there is a problem with the battery this way, most likely it will manifest within the year before your warranty expires. You could still talk to the authorised service centre for your peace of mind. See what they offer.
I do not think there is any need to remove the case, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth and cellular data even!
Also, since you mentioned automatic brightness is off, what is your usual brightness? Again, high brightness would only consume the battery faster and that means charging sooner, but it should not cause a 4% drop in capacity in two months.
Wow, my launch-day 11 Pro Max battery is already at 97%. I remember it took my iPhone X more than a year to reach 97%. My charging pattern has not changed, so not sure what's going on.
Certainly been mentions of that too. As been mentioned in this thread and other threads, these things are estimates and aren't linear.
If I say that my launch day 11 Pro just dropped to 99%, would that convince you otherwise?
Those things are estimates and without proper equipment you can’t really calculate the capacity accurately.
The Pro models come with fast chargers this time, use of which is known to reduce long term battery life.
Slight decrease in usage times is normal. But if it’s really noticeable there could be other factors like the iOS itself. Wait for the official 13.3 and set it up as new if you could. That way you can rule out the software as the cause.
Edit: If the temperatures are high enough where you live it could affect the usage times too. That of course includes playing high intensity games and charging the iPhone when it’s hot outside.

Not normal. Maybe contact Apple and pay them for a battery swap if you’re in India?
Many stores agree to swap if you’re willing to pay for a fresh battery. They won’t do it for free. Which city are you in?
Possibly due to the heat from fast charging. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If you’re planning to purchase a new battery, I wouldn’t bother with it until it’s about 85%. To get a better idea, you’ll need to check how many cycles on the battery.
I don't charge it with fast charger that comes with the box.I charge it withh 5W charger.

Battery cycle shows 53.

Yes start everything new. As if, it is a New Phone that you are activating for the first time. Take a Data Back Up and do it. I am not saying it will for sure 100% rectify your problem. But you can try it.
