Realme GT 6T battery issues (Need suggestions/help)

Been using my GT 6T for almost 1 year and 10 months and I've been noticing many weird battery issues with this phone. Not just in UI 7.0 but also in UI 6.0.

And it's not just bad battery backup. It's just weird behaviour.

If the battery drops below 20% it takes almost 2 hours to fully charge.

If I charge it above 20% it charges fully in just about 45mins.

Sometimes even after fully charging to 100% the battery will keep dropping even without any use. I have to plug it in again and leave it for a long time only then it drains normally.

Sometimes I get insane battery backup like 7 or 8 plus hours of sot and still 20% left.

And then there are some bad days or weeks where the battery behaves like I mentioned earlier.

The battery health is at 97% despite being almost two years old.

There is no bulging or swelling, everything seems fine. No unusual heating either.

Idk wtf is wrong. Because every other aspect of this phone is soo good. Performance, camera, gaming, multimedia etc etc is all perfect. Except the inconsistent battery readings

Should I replace my battery?

And also are there any good custom roms available for this phone? Because I think realme ui might be the problem here.

Edit: forgot to mention a couple more issues.

The standby battery drain during the night is horrible.

Normally I'd lose 4 to 6 percent during the night (which is still worse than alot of older phones I've owned)

But if I go to sleep while the battery percent is at 20% or nearby 20% (because I don't want to charge overnight)

It would already be completely dead by the morning lol

And yes, battery below 20% doesn't last at all. Barely 5 to 10 mins under normal use and it will shut down.
