Or you just have a pixel :/

Turn your brightness down and switch on airplane mode when on WiFi saves a lot of battery honestly. Also deactivate 5G it's only use is to kill batteries. No one needs 5G on their phone 4G is more than enough.

There's a way to disable 5G? On Android? I'd love to disable it as it's rubbish!

I can set mine to only be 5g when the screen is on

At least on Samsung there's a per-SIM setting to prefer 4G/LTE over 5G. I'm sure stock Android has that option, too.
