Start troubleshooting by restarting your phone into safe mode, this will disable all installed 3rd party apps. If the problem is resolved then one of your installed apps is causing this issue and you have to figure out which one. Start by uninstalling those apps you installed recently.

Did you try a different charger and/or USB cable combinations?

Changed the cable on Monday used 2 plugs as well as a car charger. I am thinking of using Sony companion to restart the phone.

I don't think the battery can be finished with in 11 months
