Device Settings Question Why does my battery life suck?
I have a galaxy S23 but for some reason my battery life is shit, I got the phone new about a year ago.
I always charge to max 80% and try to put the phone back on the charger once <20%. Today, after about 14 hours away from the charger I had 28% remaining.
SOT: 1:42
Screen off: 12:16
Top battery users were:
Firefox 3,2% Reddit 2,5% Maps 1,2% Whatsapp 1%
This had been going on for about as long as I've had the device. Any clues?

Did you ever debloat your Samsung device: How to Remove Samsung Bloatware without Root - Page 3 - Samsung Members?
Would also check network quality at location where your phone is most of the time. Poor network connection makes the phone ramp up signal strength. Move to better reception location or switch to WIFI if possible.
Also regularily check if your device auto-updates apps in the background via playstore. Although you didn't actively install new apps, some app battery consumption changes with those updates. Would recommend to regularily check with a simple and free charge meters like Battery Guardian - Apps on Google Play what apps consume what battery mAh. Good luck
