# Why Does My Phone Battery Drain Overnight Even in Airplane Mode?

My phone loses a noticeable amount of charge overnight, even when I turn on airplane mode and leave the screen off. It’s a fairly recent phone, and the battery health reading still looks normal.

Could background apps or a weak battery still be responsible when cellular and Wi-Fi connections are disabled? I’d like to narrow down whether this is a settings issue, a recent app update, or something that needs a repair check.
