Question Background apps draining battery problem

[Miri_meow]

Hi guys,
I'm not a developer but after hours and days of searching online to no avail, I hope you can help me.
I have been using my Poco x5 pro 5G for a few days. Noticed battery draining way too fast. As I tried to diagnose and solve the problem, I tried completely limiting background activity for the battery-eating apps, that showed as such under the "battery" section (Facebook, WhatsApp etc.).
However, even after doing this, these apps are *still* running in the background! Some of them, in addition to Facebook etc. - are apps I haven't even opened at all for the last few days.
Each time I enter the battery tab and see what apps are running - even if I do this say 3 times immediately in a row - new apps keep appearing, ones I haven't even opened, alongside ones I actually manually limited to no background activity at all.
Please see photos attached.
So frustrating. Why is this happening? What can be done about this?

Thank you!

Use universal android debloater to remove most apps coming with the phone. In my x5 pro it removed 62 packages and my battery on normal use lasts about 2 days

Thanks for your reply. I already did this (however, manually), removed many apps. And the problem persists.
Also, this doesn't explain apps still running in the background after I completey minimized their activity.

It works without root? There is any tutorial or so? After 6 years with a rooted device and costum roms it's a little desperate to have the stock miui with all the junk in it

It's about block tracking of advertising and marketing, can save batteries much more

I've got a problem regarding Poco X5 Pro 5G, when my phone is off and I put the charger....it chargest to %95 without any problem and gets stuck at %95. Doesn't matter how long I wait it doesn't help at all. But if I start up my phone then the charging continues to %100. Does anybody know what's causing this behavior?

It's better. But I'd still expect more from a new phone. I could easily end the day with around 20%. It's fine, but i'd expect better from what I've read about other users' experience with this phone.
