Hsve you tried clearing cache & factory reset via recovery? I found my battery getting hot & draining fast. Older A series from 2017 are better in this regard, than this S series junk. I had to stop so many processes that were running in back...

Hi, upgraded high power battery for s20 5g is recommended or not anyone who has experienced it
