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):

Anna-KinDamn, off topic but how did you take these long screenshots? Mine barely scrolls when I try using it.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/171609#Comment_171609
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.

thejus44Would you recommend doing a full wipe and not restoring any kind of backup at all for this kind of thing? It's a hassle to reinstall all the apps manually but maybe it's best?https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/171647#Comment_171647
Hi! No problem, I can give you some pointers I believe. I did game for a couple of hours but it was just crossy road, nothing too heavy. I just brought the device because it had great all round specs, I'm not really a mobile gamer. I do however, consume a lot of media (YouTube, browsing with over 15+ tabs open at all times)
And as for how much SoT I was getting previously, honestly I can't answer that accurately, I'd only gotten the phone half a day ago with over 48% of the original charge before I wiped it. More on that below.

I wouldn't be too worried about the gaps in the graph. The first thing I did with I got my phone was to unlock the bootloader (which automatically wiped my phone, BTW, which I believe greatly enhanced battery life) and root my phone, hence the gaps. The gaps are never truly there for more than 5 mins, and I believe there was also enough booting up (which takes up a lot of battery) to compensate. Nevertheless I've attached screenshots of my current battery status, with no gaps. I also noticed that you guys mentioned some apps like Duo sucking battery life, but it might be worth looking into disabling them. My refresh rate is set to "Auto", AirTriggers are off most of the time, 5g access is off, I'm using the stock android theme, RAM usage hovers around 4.2 GB at all times, and I would definitely recommend turning off "Mobile data" always turned on, in developer settings. And pleases before you exchange your phone, might be worth wiping it and starting from scratch so that any old cache that might be causing such issues is also gone. Please let me know if any of these tips worked 🙂
