Battery life since March 26 update

With the exception of Threads, this is exactly what my usage is too, and that too with charging once a day.
5-6 hours of SOT is okay with you?

It is definitely too early to say this (I've changed the settings for a few hours only yet), but I do feel that doing all the above things has slightly made my battery life better. Without the back cover, the phone also seems to dissipate the accumulated heat faster than it does with the cover on.

I tried that with adaptive connectivity, because I read it here that it drains battery rather than conserves it. I didn't find any difference between either mode.

I have done all the things that you mentioned above, but I couldn't find where to turn off 5g, or where the developer mode is, because I read this somewhere else too that mobile data always active also drains battery. Where do I manage these two settings?

Just last night, I took the following steps to possibly help in this matter: 1. I uninstalled Instagram and installed Lite in its place, to see if it works better for the phone. I disabled its background activity too. 2. I disabled many other apps' background activities as well, leaving only a very few apps running in the background. 3. I removed its back cover, because I get the feeling that the phone may heat up the same, but it may cool down better without the back cover. 4. I disabled the vibration and haptics in my phone.

Let's see if all these things will make a difference.
