download cpu z and check what it says about the battery health, maybe battery is demaged. but it could as well be a system bug maybe...

i wouldn't recommend to try modifieng the phone cause the battery can be faulty if it's really new and you'd just loose your warranty. so just maybe give it back to service. my charger was also demaged from the beginning.

well, updates use more battery but the battery should withstand it to some degree. like i said it could be maybe the battery or system bug. but i assume it's the battery
