Phone: *at 100% because I charged it last night like a good boy*
Phone: *shuts off randomly*
*I boot my phone back up*
Phone: 10%
Phone: *shuts off again*
*I boot my phone back up*
Phone: 100%
*phone shuts off again, goes back to 10%*
I think my phone might be starting to die
I've had a very similar issue, that turned out to be the battery being unable to supply enough voltage, so the phone just shut down (even when at 100%), and insisted the battery was 100% drained. It could boot again when I plugged the carger in, and said like 10-15%, which while low, isn't drained. It then "charged" back up to 100% within 10 minutes, until it shut down the next time under a little load that exceeded what the battery could provide.
It is why apple developed the thing that got them all the bad press where phones started performing slower as they got older.
Because of how their processor design works, you have big cores and little cores, and the big cores engage when you need to do something substantial, like encode a video or play a game. But when those cores open up, you need more power. And batteries get worse at delivering peak voltage over time.
So Apple made it that if the battery was getting to the point where it would underdeliver / cause the phone to power off or crash during peak loads, they would throttle the peak loads to keep the phone alive and running. And even a degraded battery can work just fine on the little cores and the throttled big ones.
Which, of course proved the conspiracy that Apple purposefully throttles old phones and forces you to upgrade and it was a whole thing.
But yes, what you are experiencing sounds like that. It you have an iPhone, go into the battery settings and see if the Peak Performance Capability is disabled or whatever - that might let you use the phone a bit longer, until you get the battery replaced or buy a new one.
i feel like this was the kind of thing it was totally reasonable to expect most people to just get upset about and not really understand
I mean, it ties back to the whole anti-consumer stance of just not letting us replace our own batteries. It's simply one of the knock on effects of this.
yeah in the case of Apple in particular it is also a right to repair issue
but also i don't know how many spare batteries they continue to manufacture after new models come out and if there are different form factors and stuff that make the new ones incompatible since battery size and space is a constant moving target in phone development particularly
it's complicated
It is complicated, but Apple does make it clear how long they will make spare parts for things based upon their categorization.
It looks like the iPhone 6, a seven year old device, is the oldest phone they officially make batteries for, and its 50 bucks to get a brand new one.
Apple definitely has their margin capture bullshit (I am looking squarely at their cables and staring fucking hard), but they do have a reasonably consumer-friendly stance on replacing the batteries for a fair price. Not as consumer friendly as user-swappable batteries, but I am not sure any phone maker is on that particular train any more, especially with just how strange batteries have gotten.

But like, that comment about seeing how many people don't wear masks showing that sociopathy is rampant
I think that's ridiculous! Maybe it's an off the cuff joke. But you don't have to be a sociopath to refuse to wear masks! People who don't wear masks seem to do so for a variety of reasons: they don't believe masks are effective, they don't believe COVID is real, they believe individual liberty is more important than even millions of lives and think the moral position is more important. Even that last one isn't sociopathic — it's just politically extreme, and probably combined with the other two to some degree.
We are EXTREMELY willing to blame a brain condition for social problems instead of blaming, you know, social factors.
I also recognize that when I talk about this, I jump between narcissists and sociopaths pretty freely. Not because I think they're the same thing (they're very different) but because they manifest similarly, especially in positions of wealth and power. They also tend not to seek diagnosis.
Example: it is abundantly clear that Trump is a narcissist. Does he end up in any statistics? Has he ever been officially diagnosed? Doubtful.

I didn't buy it, cesca got it when on a waste plastic reducing kick so the extent that I knew about it was that the pellets were supposedly good for 50 washes, then need replacing, which caused me to assume it was just some kind of slowly dissolving solid detergent
I mean look also it could be entirely true that 80% of CEOs have ‘sociopathic tendencies’; because ‘sociopathic tendencies’ is a weak, colloquial phrase, that could just mean, 40 CEOs in a survey of 50 CEOs answered ‘yes’ to a question like “I sometimes prioritize the success of my business over the feelings of my employees” or whatever
It’s such a meaningless little factoid or data point even if it is true

Ah ok that is somewhat more meaningful
I looked into this when my ex was training as a psychiatrist, since at the time the prevailing meme was that I was a sociopath, and I was like oh shit am I really? But no, not at all (and it was also fairly shitty for that to be a meme about me; it was, I think, because I didn’t demonstrate affection/caring in the language and gestures expected of a young woman, and therefore it was assumed that the caring wasn’t there—which, nah).
But as has been mentioned, the diagnostic criteria are so connected to criminal history/failure to cope or thrive in society that it’s just very odd and the diagnostic criteria don’t quite seem to match what we want to get at when we say sociopath.

Regarding poverty, there definitely is a similar effect in that inherited mental illness is going to reduce your earnings potential, which contributes to poverty. That's not the same as saying there's a poverty gene, or that most people in poverty have inherited mental illnesses, but that there's necessarily going to be higher prevalence of mental illness among the poor.

Yeah—when we as moderately educated laypeople say ‘sociopath’, we are referring to a pretty broad umbrella which includes people with some sort of brain defect from birth, people with some sort of brain defect from other causes, people with persistent bad patterns of behavior from birth (I mean also maybe this is a brain defect/we could call it that, but we don’t have to), people who start evincing bad behavior patterns after some event or as a result of being shaped by their surroundings, and even people who are currently temporarily displaying sociopathic behavior but haven’t before and won’t later.

Oh, yes, totally. A single dopaminergic gene can be divided into discrete categories. Maybe there are exactly two polymorphisms of some dopaminergic gene, which means there are two categories of people: those with, and those without.
But if there are two dozen such genes with dozens of polymorphisms between them, then you have a spectrum. And that's not even getting into natal or environmental causes.
