P20 battery draining quickly suddenly

[Photo2023]

I've had my P20 about two years. Suddenly, a couple of days ago, the battery is draining two or three times as fast as normal. I can't see any difference in how I use my phone, and have checked the battery settings, but don't see anything different than normal. I've removed a couple of apps that use a lot of the battery and have checked a couple extra things in the "optimize battery usage" section. Usually, I could fully charge my phone and it would be good for a couple of days. The past couple of days, I fully charge it in the evening, then by morning when I wake up it's at 50%, then below 10% early afternoon. Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks.

Try wiping cache partition. Turn off your phone, then turn it on holding power + vol up buttons, it will boot in recovery menu. From there select wipe cache partition. You can also find video guides on yt. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. For some reason, I'm not getting the recovery menu. I've even watched a couple YouTube videos about it. I'll try again though.

Try pressing the volume button first and then power, and keep holding buttons until you get in the menu, dont let go when you see the huawei logo, as some guides suggest.

My battery decreased too, but i think it's because of the time this device was used. Are you on latest emui 12? Maybe the firmware is problem.
