ROG Phone 5 Battery issue

Anna-Kin
Rising Star I
Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Asus ROG Phone 5 Global
Firmware Version: Latest
Rooted or not: No
Frequency of Occurrence: Regular
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
Battery mode: Dynamic
Refresh Rate: Auto
My new 3 days old ROG 5 is showing approx 6 hours of SOT with mixed usage and lasts for about 20 hours. So, I ran the AccuBattery Pro while charging the phone from 5% to 98%, and twice while charging from around 40% to 100%.
And here are the results, even after a total charge of 174%, it didn't charge to the capacity of 6000mAh.
Can anyone in the community perform the same test as well using AccuBattery Pro and see what the battery health and estimated capacity is?
For comparison I ran the same test on my almost 3 years old Oneplus 6T(2nd pic):

Hi Anna-Kin,
I wouldn't deny that some Apps do work correctly. But, for Battery stats like health and other stats do check Settings => Battery. The inbuild stats are more accurate. A 3rd Party App may show inaccurate stats.
For SOT - Please share the graph post charge to 100% and stats after the battery reaches to 10%

Yes, I agree. Here are some screenshots of charge stats, the battery life has been low, like 5-6 hours with light usage.
Today's screenshot.

Here is another screenshot in which Duo sucks the charge like juice.
All in all, I am getting 6 hours of screen on time, Is it normal for a ROG Phone 5 with a 6000mAh battery to have 6 hours of SOT? Because the ton of reviews I have watched claimed more than 9 hours of mixed usage, and I am getting 3-4 hours less SOT.
My replacement window ends tomorrow, a fast reply would be highly appreciated.

Here's my usage. I followed the tips from a user "Therazorsedge" on xda:
1 # Disable: "Phone data always active" on developer settings, search on GOOGLE how to access to developer options.
2 # Install latest WW rom from the zip on ASUS website >than .49 and do FULL WIPE.
3 # IF YOU DON'T HAVE 100% SIGNAL ON 5G, DISABLE IT, cause don't work and drain battery.
I'm running build 18.0840.2104.49, by the way.
