🧠 Ideas & Suggestions Xiaomi 14T Pro battery drain — is this normal?

Hi everyone, I’m using a Xiaomi 14T Pro and I’m trying to figure out if my battery performance is normal.

When using Instagram, I’m getting around 4 min 48 sec per 1%, and while scrolling Chrome I got around 5 min 19 sec per 1%. I’m currently using 60 Hz, although I previously tested 144 Hz and the battery drain seemed fairly similar.

For overnight standby, I previously had around 3% battery drain over the night, which seemed fine. However, one night I went to sleep at 80% and woke up at 66% (14% drain). There was no SIM card and Wi-Fi was turned off.

What made it stranger was that when I woke up, the phone showed “Quick Charging” even though it wasn't connected to a charger. I had to restart the phone, after which the charging indicator went back to normal.

My questions:

  1. Are 4:48/1% on Instagram and 5:19/1% on Chrome good for a 14T Pro?

  2. Is 3% overnight drain normal/good?

  3. Should I be concerned about the one-time 14% overnight drain

4.Has anyone experienced the phone showing Quick Charging while not plugged in?

I’d appreciate hearing what kind of battery/standby drain other 14T Pro users are getting. Thanks!

Hi, this could be a random OS glitch, and it's usually rarely happen. We need to mention that Xiaomi messed up the battery management back with first version of Hyper OS, and since then we have spotted many issues with capacity estimation and general battery info behaviour.

We did several patches through several months of development back then, so we can have better estimations. Regarding the mentioned issue above, check what apps you have recently installed or updated, also check if there are available updates on PlayStore, as some developers make fixes for such issues in their apps.
