So I use my s pen for just about everything on my s24 ultra, i updated One UI 7 Last night and this morning, I actually got to play around with it, but now the S Pen does not work in the middle of the screen. Only the outer edges of the screen. This is very frustrating. I thought this has been through a lot of Beta. Testing. Just let me revert back to 6.1 also the battery life now is AWFUL, ON 6.1 MY BATTERY WOULD LAST ALL DAY now I unplugged my phone at 10 AM, and I'm already down to 52%. This is crazy.

@hafnorr Do you have a case on your S24 Ultra? Does it have a magnet? Magnets interfere with S Pen operation. Have you tried to remove it?

None of that nothing that you mentioned has anything to do with when you are 7.0 itself chances are it has to do with the install I have this on my S24 Ultra not only do I not have a problem with my s pen I've actually noticed better battery life not worse I updated mine at about 6:00 a.m. this morning when the update finally pushed through it sounds like your phone needs a restart or some of your apps need an update which they strongly suggested that you do in the update prompt itself it actually gave you a list of apps to update and all of them were found in the galaxy store but honestly it sounds like all you need is a solid reset so turn your phone off power it down completely let it sit for a minute or two power it back on also don't forget to use your device care. I use custom cracked apps for YouTube and a few other things so that I don't have to pay money to run all of these services to do all of these work arounds to make these apps work without me paying actually uses more power so my battery dies quicker on average because I am a power user in the apps that I use and I can still make it through the entire day without having an issue there's another problem here.

I never use my phone with a case I didn't know that that was potential issue I think you greatly for informing me of that being a possibility and I will keep that in mind in the future if anybody else has this issue

Unfortunately the only method I could give you that would guarantee that everything would work again is if you backed everything up on your Samsung you could use the Samsung backup and it'll hold all your information for 30 days exactly has your as your phone was set up to a factory reset and then restore and that should fix all your problems I know I hate having to nuke my phone to fix a major issue but sometimes it's the fastest way to get it over and done with and get you back to plan and using your phone as you would normally during the day instead of wasting a few days trying to troubleshoot it and eventually having to just factory reset it anyways or patiently wait for a patch
