I had to find the battery on eBay (I think it was around $30?), but I then had a local cell repair shop replace the battery on my PH-1 for about $60, I think.

Those two screenshots are quite revealing.  Your Gmail is quite greedy, and itself would exhaust your battery in about 7 hours (unusual for Gmail).  Your Firefox is similar, but hey, a whole browser does a lot more.  As I think Trevor may have suggested, this (the Gmail especially) points to a deteriorating battery that simply holds a lot less charge than originally.  Remember, 100% means the intelligent circuits deem it to be fully charged to its current capacity, not its original capacity.

BTW, don't you like having the battery percentage showing all the time on the top line of the phone?  The first screenshot shows that option turned off.

My phone is an Essential PH-1 with Android 10. Ah... I did look at Settings - Battery, but there is no "Device care". However, looking more closely at Battery there is those 3 dots at the top beside battery. That gave me Battery usage. Thank you.
