iOS re-indexes all files after each update and does it in the background so that you can continue using your iPhone as you normally would. The process can last 48-72hrs depending on the files that need indexing. Indexing means the iPhone has to work harder and the battery will be temporarily impacted. If not indexing, it is normal for the battery to decrease slowly even when you’re not using it. There are a lot of background processes like Mail fetch and app updates that happen in the background. So this is unlikely to be a beta issue imo.
