“IT” brand charger
Check your charger to make sure that it has a MFi Badge (Made for iPhone) to ensure that it meets Apple's standards.
rely on mobile data for my daily usage.
Does this mean that you are not using Wi-Fi as much as possible with the iPhone? Mobile data will use up much more battery power than Wi-Fi, and if the cellular signal is not full strength, the iPhone will constantly search for a stronger signal, which also uses up additional battery power.

Not abnormal if the OP is using a non-certified charger and not using Wi-Fi as much as possible.
You need to gather more facts and information before you can make any judgements about the battery condition.

No. Very abnormal which means there is a problem with the battery of the iPhone 14 released in 2022.

Your tag lines suggests you have an iPhone 14, is that correct? Keep in mind iPhone 14 was released in 2022, so your phone could be 4+ years old at this point. What is the battery health on your phone right now? It wouldn't be unusual for a 4+ year old iPhone to lose 10% in health over 7 months at this point. If your battery health is 80% or less, you need to pay Apple to replace the battery.

You have no basis to determine if this is or isn't normal.
