Need help please, my phone is doing something weird. My phone has been unplugged for 4.5 hours, it's on 11%.

Here's screenshots of my battery usage. Is my phone forked?

Do you have an SD card in ? If so, try taking it out and see if things change
 
installed apps recently? especially from sources other than play store?
I had installed apps in the past and my phone would get hot just being in my pocket. uninstall the culprit app and everything was fine. have had to factory reset before.

When my Sonic screwdriver gave me the same issues I removed the last month's installed apps, did device maintenance and rebooted it.

Not as good as new but great improvement.
Check the last few pages of the S7 Edge thread...
 
Android system used 43%? with only 7% screen time. Something wrong there.

One other possibility is problems with the cell tower. That can eat batteries quicker than a speed cop can eat KFC.
 
I left my phone to charge to full after restarting, it's only gone down 3% in the last half an hour or so. Checked the battery usage, only screen and game usage there now. That was kinda scary, my phone was hot after not using it at all. I'll update if something weird happens again.

Thanks
