Hi @legendarykiwi
How did you check if an app was operating in the background?
If you started the phone in safe mode and the battery was still discharging too fast did you check if the WiFi and BT were both disabled? If either were left enabled this could be one reason for the battery discharging quickly as they would be constantly searching for new connections which would use more power than usual.
If you didn't start in safe mode then try it and check the battery discharge rate and if still no good, then try replacing the battery as suggested by @dadibrokeit above. Here's a teardown video that may help. Search online for Tecno BL-58CT to find suppliers that suit you best. (supplier examples only)
