iPhone submerged in water for 30 minutes

so i had mine submerged for 30 minutes, it worked fine for 7 hours, and went black. what started happening it would start powering on, then going black. after about a few days it worked for about 15 minutes, then started trying to power itself on, then failing. the current situation is it will work for 5 minutes for every hour I let it sit, and it will shorten the 5 minutes to about a minute when charging. WTF is going on?

The answer is that the phone is starting “to die”, as expected after being in water for 30 minutes. If not professionally taken care of, liquid damage worsens over time until the phone just stops working. You’ll need to have it properly serviced by a reputable lab that offers microsoldering service. The more you wait the worse things will get to be repaired.
