9a battery draining quickly

I've had the 9a for less than a year and it started out great but the last couple of weeks my battery can't last the day. I use adaptive charging at night and today I took it off the charger around 8 this morning, and with less than 4 hours of screen time by the time I got home from work around 4 it was already less than 30%. The screenshot today is from after I already plugged it in.

The charging is also terrible despite which charger I try to use. Half the time it says "plugged in but not charging" or if I plug it in outside of adaptive charging hours it'll still say it's going to take several hours like the second screenshot I added which shows 7+ hours.

I don't have new apps and didn't use data for more than 30 minutes today, streamed for less than 2 hours of that screentime. My music is downloaded to my phone so didn't even need wifi for that. I'm so frustrated.

Is there something wrong with my phone or is it a google update or something I can try to fix? It always says battery health is normal when I try to check. I have had to factory reset my phone a couple times early on because I had lots of glitches when I got it. The battery was fine though until recently so I thought I was safe there. Any advice? Anything I can try?
