My S 23 ultra charged upto 80% at 8:40 AM today. Then I used it upto 12:03 PM on the day and what I observe is the battery icon shows 65% remaining and 12% dropped (Yet actually it must be 15% dropped) which includes Screen ON Time as1 hr 25 min and Screen OFF Time as 2 hr 30 min. Also, from 12AM to 7 AM my phone was completely battery drained at 0% and switched off. Only chargin was done on fast mode till 8:40 AM.

My question is that if I think in light of above details, how is it possible that battery drains only upto 12%, not more than it. One can easily detect the flaw.

Anyone having this software bug?😃

The solution provided by you is not relevant to my question. Please check carefully what I have said in terms of 15% and 12% and then do a simple math with logic. You will find the actual extract of my question.
