My battery health indicates 93% (yeah, right.) In actual use, I now barely get 10-12 hours and often only 8. It's time to argue with a Genius about replacement under AppleCare+. It was never great, but I used to be able to get through the day and evening without an extra pack or lunch time recharge.

There are no app offenders. Social apps are not allowed background activities.

What is everybody else seeing?

Often a new iteration of iOS takes its toll on battery. I loved my mini, but the battery was meh. I was mid day charging daily.

Datapoint: two iPhone13minis for self and wife, both about one year old, both showing 99% maximum capacity, both last throughout a full day of use starting about 6:00am through midnight easily with about 10% remaining. Optimized Battery Charging turned on. Very pleased with our two iPhones.

I'm pretty impressed by how the battery itself is holding up. 95.4% of original capacity, 753 charge cycles. The best Apple battery yet I've encountered.
