After Googling this, it seems to be a common problem. I'm running 12.2 IOS.

This for me just started out of nowhere yesterday morning for some reason. I'll have the phone charging - but it just won't go above 97%. I did a hard reset, once it booted up...then it showed 100%. This morning, I turned it off, waited a min., turned it back on. Again 100%. So for whatever reason right now, I use it through out the day, % goes down like it normally does. When it's time to recharge, once again it stops at 97%.

I've been using a wireless charger (Samsung, but it has worked fine since I had my 8+ in Sept. 2017)

I even had a bit of a scare last night when I went to plug the XS Max in via certified Apple wired charger, the phone screen went black and became completely unresponsive! I removed the wired lightning charger, placed it back on the Samsung charger and the screen back came on after 2 seconds. I have no idea what that was about, just ODD!

I've tried the tips from other sites, time change to manual, switch to "Low Battery Mode," so far nothing. only thing I haven't done is drain the battery all the way down to 0%, then charge up - and finally reset everything.

Anyone else having a problem, any quick fixes..is this a sign of something failing?
ugh.

Thanks!
