Most Mac OS aren't designed with low memory in design. If your device is hot then it is trying to do stuff awhile trying to deal with your low memory situation.
What to do?
Backup all your info.
Delete anything that you don't need to use. Make space so the device isn't trying to thrash and waste energy finding scattered memory fragments.
Your phone will need to be reset and restored with a fresh copy of iOS then replace your data and then see how it's behavior is doing.
Following.
Sounds like good advice. Am I able to maintain my current os when I restore the phone?
why are you posting this in jailbreaks? is it something specifically to do with jailbreaking? look at your battery stats to see what's draining it.
No but you can restore your iPhone to what can be accepted as factory.
If you wish to downgrade it to 11.x.x then do so.
This is incorrect. If you simply restore NOT update & restore you can keep your iOS version at whatever is currently installed on your phone. You simply need to put your phone into recovery before plugging it into itunes.
Hope you haven't updated to the newest ITUNES, you will find that with the newest iTunes for that not to work anymore. You are forced to update and then restore.
Forces you to upgrade involuntarily.
Do I need a copy of 11.1.2 before I use the restore option?

Do you know what the last version of iTunes is that allows me to restore only?

I thought it might be jailbreak related and though this was the correct spot to request help. Sincere apologies.
