Since the March 2025 update, which was pushed to my phone about 10 or so days ago, I have not been able to charge my phone quickly or reliably.
And the battery drains super fast. The battery drain from 100% to 20% in lead than 8 hrs while not even using the phone a lot.
The charging cable I was using previously and charged my phone in couple of hours from 20 % to 100, now says 8 hours to charge and that even if it ever does it
I tried wireless charger and it charged it in 4/5 hours. I changed three different cables to no effect. I turned if adaptive battery management and saw no effect. And the phone continues to die fast regardless of cable or wireless charging.
Hopefully it's a big and not how it feels like apple tactics to brick older phones to force me phone purchase.
Any solution or resolution is appreciated.

Hello 👋 @Zindani
I'm sorry to hear your experiencing these issues.
Sometimes if a phone is misbehaving after an software update it can be beneficial to try these troubleshooting steps.
1. First turn the phone Off and On i.e a Soft Reboot, but if that does not help then follow this by trying a forced reboot by holding down the volume down key and power button simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it. When your phone resets, you will feel it vibrate.
2. Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port or a usb-c to usb-c phone to phone set up to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's }
3. Last resort is a factory reset.
4. You can send feedback via the Samsung Members App.
May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within.
If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask 😎

I will take it to the store and see if that helps.
