Hi Krista1, we appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26+ with us. We know how important the lasting battery life of your device is to you every day. The design of your device is to learn your consumption habits and adjust the battery usage to your consumption after a short period of time. If this is not your experience we have articles available online to help you maximize the battery life of your device titled "Get the most out of your Galaxy phone or tablet battery" and "Apps are draining battery on Galaxy phone or tablet". We also have our team of experts available through chat to assist you further if you continue to experience this frustration with your device. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth
