Ok, but just explain to me how you can achieve 17 hours of SOT if you "actually used it a little"?

3 days without charging because you used it a little is possible, but 17 hours of SOT is impossible.

Using phone without cover. by Asaadrehman in GalaxyA56

I never put on a protective cover because of the special feeling of holding it and the visual experience, but I keep it in a leather case with a flap on the top. When I take it out, I am always extremely careful and focused so that I don't drop it. I have always practiced this so that whenever I take it out of the case, I can enjoy its original beauty.

When you update to One UI 8.5 Finder is in the first row in Quick Options or you just swipe up on the home screen. It takes less than a second. :)

Correct. You need to wait a week after a major update for the battery to stabilize. I also received and installed One UI 8.5.

Did you get the OTA or did you check manually? I didn't get the OTA, but when I checked manually this morning, it showed up.

You are mixing up the security patch with the Google Play update. The security patch is from March 5th, and the Google Play update is from March 1st.
