The phone's battery and heating problem got better in the last few months after one ui 7 update, yet after this August security update, the battery has been draining like crazy. I literally had to charge my phone 2 separate times today.

Im never buying another Samsung phone that's for sure. This phone has been great since I bought it 2 years ago, yet now Samsung is purposely nerfing it with these new updates.

Sure, Samsung is deliberately tanking their phones so they can lose market share.  After updates, the adaptive battery resets and has to re-learn usage patterns.  For a short period of time after an update, extra battery power may be used while things are put in place in the background.  Your apps look for updates. The main update takes place immediately, but to avoid disruption in  use, many things happen afterward and this may cause excessive battery drain or overheating. You need to wait for your phone to stabilize.

How did the adaptive battery work? My battery is draining quicker than normal, too, right after the August update.
