I bought my iphone 14 pro in October 2022. Battery has never been the best for me. While it does last for a whole day most of the time, I come home with 20% or less in the evening. Battery is already at 92% battery health after 10 months, which is even more weird. my Iphone 11 pro was at 92% after 2 years of usage.

Anyway, below are some screenshots of the battery usage.

Some information about my configuration:
1. I use double SIM.
2. Find My app tracks 2 AirTags, Apple watch, Airpods Pro and my Family.

I know people were reporting about SOT of 6+ hours and what not and while I do understand that this is highly dependant on what you actually do on your phone, I have to say I never ever managed to reach such high SOT no matter what I was doing on my phone.

Is this battery drain something abnormal? In addition, I have no clue why Home & Lockscreen uses 8-14% of battery in a day (ranging from 15 to 25 minutes a day). I use absolutely no widgets, no lock screen widgets or anything that would drain my battery this quick. Find My also is the main battery drainer during the night, despite having disabled all "Notify when left behind" messages.

Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: In addition, I marked the area of 5th screenshot when I was sleeping. It makes no sense that the battery drain is so huge during sleep, with Siri being #1 battery drainer with Find My being on a #2 place (without any percentage).

No, it's all down to the Pro's extensive functionalities and Apple's conservative minimalist view on battery sizes. Turn off AOD, the plethora of location services, reduce the display to 60 Hz, turn off most background activies, and so on, and the battery will last longer. It all depends on what you want, really, functionalities or battery life. That said, some claim there are differences between battery manufacturers' quality of batteries.
 
I’m down to 87% on my release day 14 Pro. Ridiculous that I can’t make it through a day on a charge.
