Why does the charging current decrease slowly when I put my phone on charge. I check current through an app called ampere, when I plug in the charger it shows the charging current 2270mA but slowly it decreases to 1030mA and the phone charges very slowly. Anybody please help

Charging speed decreases once the phone reaches 90-95 %, so as to protect the battery.

I never charge my phone above 85%

It decreases the speed even if its at 50%

It's not a problem, any good company which cares for its devices will do it.
Charging current starts reducing when Battery reaches around 60-70%. Battery charges fastest between 10-15 to 75-85%, then the current is reduced.
Because charging Battery produces Heat, which makes battery warmer and is not good for a battery's health. Many company uses different types of Charging technology in order to maintain Battery's health and maintain Fast charging speed (basically by dividing one battery into 2-3 smaller batteries, because of this current going on each battery is also reduced by that factor).
.
Charging capacity is measured by measuring charge pressure in the battery, so in the end points (ie near 0-10% and near 90-100%), there are more errors in calculating it, which is to be kept in mind. So they reduce charging speeds in order to not overcharge and maintain Battery's health.

It should charge fast when it is below 50 but it doesn't
