I'm having a serious issue with my Redmi Note 11 5G; it goes from 100% to dead in just about 7 minutes! I bought this phone in 2022, and I often play games like BTD6, Roblox, and Call of Duty Mobile. Anyone know what might be causing this?

It sounds like your Redmi Note 11 is facing a battery calibration issue or possibly significant wear. I suggest checking your battery health with an app like AccuBattery. Sometimes, the battery meter can get off track, so you might want to try fully discharging your phone until it shuts off, then charging it uninterrupted back to 100%. You should also check if any apps are running in the background and draining power; closing those could help. If the phone is over a year old, it may be time for a battery replacement, especially if you’re a heavy gamer like you mentioned. Oh, and enabling battery saver mode can help stretch your usage in the meantime!
If you're gaming a lot, that heat can wear the battery down faster than normal. Usually, around 3 years is when battery issues start showing up. I really doubt it drained from full in 7 minutes; it's likely that the battery has failed, and replacing it is the best option. You might want to look for a replacement if you're up for a DIY fix!
Check this out! I had a similar issue—6 minutes at 95%, so I definitely need to replace mine too.
I messed up in my previous comment; it really was at 100%! Guess I need a battery check ASAP.
