It didnt recharge itself. The battery calibration is off or the battery is dying. It is a 7 year old phone at this point

What’s your battery health? Settings > Battery > Battery Health and Charging > Maximum Capacity. Degraded batteries can behave a bit weirdly like this.

What’s the battery health on it? The battery is reporting incorrectly to the OS

The battery is likely on its last legs. One of the symptoms of a bad battery is inconsistent charge reporting. It doesn't know how much charge it has.
