Yes, mine to. It is weird, because I had no battery issue, then I had important isssues, during a month, or so, then Android 12 came and the issues disappeared.
Just to note that, wanting to keep an eye on my battery use, I noticed that many apps I use a lot donāt even appear in the default standard battery usage app (System/Battery/Battery usage).
I used another app (āSystemPanel 2ā by NextApp Inc., unfortunately now abandoned) to track usage over long periods and things look quite different, and much more like I would expect them to be: There is a game I like to play when bored, which takes first place with 28% (3h 52m in a week), follows the āPhoneā app with 23% (3h 9m in a week), then comes Quickstep with 10% (1h 21m in a week), then various others with way less (<6%).
None of those three biggest battery users ever appear in the built-in battery usage tracker, surprisingly not even the game!..
My point is, donāt trust the built-in battery usage tracker, it is clearly broken.

Where did you get the info from, that Systempanel2 is abandoned?
For battery usage I rely on the apps Better Battery Stats and AccuBattery, both have advantages and disadvantages, but in sum together they are pretty ok
See the date of the last updateā¦
There are few form 2017 and 2020 so maybe 2023 is in the running
Though the 2.0.b14 on apkpure it has a 2018 date, so yes thatās 5 years ago
Actually I never took care as long as the app was available in the play store. But that is version 2.0.b14 so it is pretty damn old, but still working for me

Not updated since 2018ā¦ 
I have several of their apps, all excellent BTW, but they havenāt been updated for more recent Androids (for instance, they canāt handle SD card write permissions).
A pity. Iāve been using their apps since Android 4.4 and never found betterā¦

That is true. As I wrote, I never worried about that, as my backup installed the app every time with me noticing that there was no update. For me the app still works for all I need it for.
For the battery part, the 2 apps I mentioned above do a good job, though.
Edit: Does anyone of you have some experience with the app 3C All-in-one Toolbox? I guess it could be a replacement for the app SystemPanel2
Beware: I have several Chargies type-A and type-C and they all tried to kill my Fairphone 4. Thereās some sort of hardware incompatibility between the Chargie and the FP4: basically when you plug a Chargie to a FP4, at some point it will start to switch the FP4 on and off several times per second and eventually hard-crash the phone.
Iām not sure if the fault is in the Chargie or in the FP4 though. My Chargies work with all my other cellphones and tablets, but not with the FP4. Strangeā¦

Thanks!
I would had edited my initial post to add a link to your post here, but unfortunately I donāt have the right to do so.
So, I would be grateful if a Moderator (or just anyone with the āeditā permissions) can edit my initial post and add a link to O.oās post here.
So, I tried to use the Chargies to limit the charge in my Fairphone 4. But sometimes what you need is right there, staring you in the faceā¦
I was browsing around in the settings to see if any of the options was preventing the Chargies from working properly, when I found this:
Likeā¦ really?
And it actually works:
I donāt know if this is available in the stock Fairphone 4. Mine is running CalyxOS with the July update.
Did I mention that I am mighty pleased with my deGoogled Fairphone 4? Hereās another reason 
No Chargies needed at all!
No, it isnāt. 
Well, at least now we know the hardware supports it. So itās like a Pixel phone, but you get the feature without giving Google a cent
I see no reason the hardware might not support it: All you need is controlling charge (already possible, else batteries would explode when on charge), and a simple logic to change when charge should be throttled, from whatever point the manufacturer had decided to something even inferior.
Iām no developer, but IMHO (legal implications put aside) this is less than an hour of work for an Android developer worth his salary. Of which most will be time spent trying to understand how the existing code works, so you can insert your 3-4 lines of new codeā¦ 
I agree itās technically trivial. But my understanding is that most Android devices just donāt have any way to instruct the charge circuitry to stop charging. They can only read back the state of charge. The Pixel does have control over the charger, and so does the FP4, nicely enough.
Maybe I misunderstood and itās just a disabled - or not included - software feature. But from what I read, you need a little something extra in the hardware for the charge limiter to work.
That canāt be! Most people leave their phones to charge overnight, or at least unattended, the phone absolutely needs to be able to stop the charge process when the battery says itās full, else it will explode! So there must be some kind of logic which reads the battery status and controls the charge process.
On the FP4 for instance, āfast chargeā only goes up to a point (80-90%, I donāt remember), and it charges āslowlyā beyond that: It clearly shows there is some control.
The charging is handled by a charging chip - Qualcomm typically - and thatās done outside of the OS, else the phone wouldnāt charge when itās off.
To my knowledge, most devices can ask the chip the estimated level of charge, current voltage, amperage and possibly - not sure if itās handled by the OS - battery health, estimated time until full charge or discharge and charging history. But they canāt instruct the charge circuit to stop the charge or limit it to some percentage, or simply cut power to the charge circuit, because extra hardware is needed.
But I may be wrong.

Yes it is controlled but only by voltage so when a certain voltage is reached, say 4.2V and the input is 4.2V there is no effective charging so no explosion. There is a trickle charge which may keep the battery unnecessarily warm and slightly speed up battery degradation. The battery is designed to handle 4.4V so having a max charge or 4.2V overnight should not be of a material concern
Yes as you say by the Qualcomm Power chip. Although the charge is more complicated as it counts the number of electrons that the battery receives in units of Coulombs 1A is 3600C and 1C is 6.24150975*1018e
Of course such counting is not that accurate as loss occurs after the counting etc.
So my FP4 has been connected but not charging for a couple hours now, and the charge level hasnāt move one iota. Normally it would have dropped at least 3 or 4% if it was completely disconnected. And my USB ammeter is showing the device if pulling between 100 mA and 500 mA depending on whether I turn the screen on.
This means the phone powers itself entirely off USB when there isnāt too much load or if itās sleeping, and simply doesnāt use the battery at all. Thatās more elegant than the Chargie, that charges and discharges the battery some percents to achieve charge control.
Really? It seems most unlikely to me that the charging circuit counts electrons (! how?!) or indeed looks at incoming charge at all ā since the property that matters if you want the battery to not explode does not directly depend on either incoming nor outgoing charge, but is a complicated function of (at least) incoming current, outgoing current, incoming voltage, temperature, battery charging history, internal oxidation stateā¦ a simple and effective proxy for all this is the voltage discharge curve obtained when charging or discharging the battery, which means that all the charging circuit has to track is āis it charging more than itās dischargingā and integrate the voltage over time. If itās not going up any more but itās trying to charge, stop. (They usually also have a temperature sensor: if the temperature is going up a lot, stop. Some simpler charging circuits only bother with the voltage measurement, but that always struck me as a bit dangerousā¦)
