Is this unusual? Shows mail taking up 39% of my battery usage and when I show activity it’s only 1 min screen time. Also after 24 hours my battery went from 81% to 46% with only 1hr 4m of sot. background app refresh is off, location services is off, dark mode is on. Using iPhone 11 Pro Max on iOS 13.2

That’s definitely unusual. Are you using any exchange email accounts? I have an iCloud and two Gmail accounts set to fetch every 30 minutes and mine stands at 2%.

Push is off. I do have one exchange email for my outlook account. Set to fetch every 15 minutes. I’ll set it to 30 minutes and see if there’s a difference. Edit: actually I just put it on manual now since I don’t need it often. It’s more of a secondary email anyway. So on manual it should definitely maximize battery if it’s the culprit

That's strange man, I have Push enabled and my Mail app usage says only 5%

This is a clean install after wiping the device of 13.2 not an upgrade

If that doesn’t solve your problem then try removing and adding the account again. Exchange accounts seem to create more issues than any other email providers.
Also turn off background app refresh for Mail app if you have it enabled.
 
I don't have mail app in background refresh list neither I can set how often the mails should be refreshed
