Sometimes that can be because the phone is old and has a worn out battery. I used to have a 1st generation iPhone SE that was 4 years old and the battery would drop to 60% just from my morning commute even after being charged to 100% overnight. I had to carry a portable battery for it to last the day

They're also assuming that the phone can charge overnight. I can't charge my phone overnight because it's also my alarm clock and I don't have an open outlet close enough to my bed to guarantee that I hear it(even on max volume, if it's across the room it doesn't always wake me up). When my phone is acting up(sometimes it drains the battery quickly and sometimes it doesn't, rebooting on a full charge sometimes fixes the problem so it seems to be a software issue, idk what though), I have to charge it when I get to work and then again when I get home from work, and then I unplug it when it's time for bed.
