You have a charging schedule? You don't just plug it in when it's low?

I usually charge it while I’m in the shower but I forgot and it only holds charge a day or so. I charged it overnight and it’s already down to 92%

Just put mine on the charger.

Mine lasts about 10 days; maybe longer. I just charge it whenever I notice it’s around 10%

I’m also the type of person who waits until the phone is at 1% percent then I sprint to the charger.

I’ve been doing pretty well going on my walks every day. I got at a very fast pace (kind of speed walking I guess).

The last few days I have not done well though, being in a car for 7 hours (long drive to a wedding) and staying somewhere that is not walkable.

I'm the same way!

Apparently you have not read the charging recommendations. Letting your battery get too low is just as bad as charging it to 100%.

"Letting your phone reach zero percent (aka, die) is not great for the long-term heath of its battery. This is because each time it reduces the number of cycles left on its Lithium-ion cell. The fewer number of cycles, the less amount of charge it's able to hold and the shorter the life of the battery."

"For optimized battery life, your phone should never go below 20 percent or never above 80 percent. It may put your mind at ease when your smartphone’s battery reads 100 percent charge, but it’s actually not ideal for the battery. “A lithium-ion battery doesn’t like to be fully charged,” Buchmann says. “And it doesn’t like to be fully charged and warm.”
