Phone loses chunks of battery when taken off charge

My phone charges (multiple chargers have been tried btw) seemingly as normal. Once taken off charge however it will drop how much charge I have and will seemingly reduce at an increased rate once in active use.

Basically phone says 100% unplug it drops to 90% and if repeated drops even further to a varying amount by a varying amount each time.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

This is probably has something to do with the battery, the battery calibration, or some other issue internally with the phone whether it be software or hardware, and seeing as how the phone would have to be near four years old and batteries in phones are rated mainly for 300 to 500 charge cycles (sometimes a bit more with the manufacturer) it could have to deal with the quality of the battery degrading far more quickly as it has over 2000 cycles by this point.
