Why is my phone battery depleting several % every minute now?

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G, Android 15, One UI 7. Literally never happened before until when I charged my phone in the morning. In the battery part for settings, it doesn't show any app that's unusually eating up resources. Recharging doesn't seem to really be that off, but discharging is extremely fast. Even my gaming laptop isn't even discharging the battery this much!

Sounds like you need to replace the battery. Happened to me with several phones and my son’s old one.

@MellyMel22 i can't because my phone isn't officially sold here by Samsung and most phones since like 2015 have the back cover fully sealed up

@uikakarotuevegeta I’m not sure if you or someone you know is good with repairs, I’ve changed a couple of batteries out on iPhones(you have to take apart some things to get to it) and it solved the problem. Though I’m not sure if you’re saying that you can’t get the actual battery somehow 😞

@MellyMel22 the parts for my phone aren't available here, except the screen for some odd reason. And even then, only 1 repair shop nearby was able to fix it, as most didn't even support my phone.
