Why is my Galaxy S21 battery acting so strange?

I'm experiencing some odd behavior with my Galaxy S21's battery. When it gets down to 20%, the percentage drops rapidly, losing about 3% every minute. Also, when I connect it to charge, it says it will reach 100% in 40 minutes, but it often only hits 70% in that time. To make things worse, when I plug it in with a charging cable, it only charges if the charger is flipped to a certain position. Has anyone else dealt with these issues?

Your battery might just be on its last legs, especially if it's a couple of years old. Sometimes, a cheap or faulty cable can cause issues too. Also, check if your charging brick is any goodโ€”could be affecting it. And don't forget to look for any dirt in the charging port; that could mess things up as well!
