Refurbished battery life (alien.top)

Purchased a refurbished 2016 SE, in settings battery health is 100% but whenever I download anything like apps or podcasts the battery drains really fast, like 4-5% per app download. Is this normal? Or should I return the device?

I just got a new battery installed at the Apple Store in my spare OGSE 2016 and it still drains pretty quick when I use it and I don’t even have a SIM card in it. I’m inclined to agree with other commenters that modern day apps are likely a lot more demanding than they were back when the phone came out.
