iPhone 16e: Incorrect Screen Time and high Safari battery usage

Hello everyone,

My new iPhone 16e is only 2 months old, but I have to charge it twice a day. My father says I am using it too intensively, but I think something is wrong with the tracking.

In my battery settings, I suddenly see screen times of 14 to 18 hours a day. When looking at the hourly chart, it tracks constant activity during the night (between 00:00 and 06:00 AM) while I am fast asleep. The battery barely drops at night, so the screen was definitely off in reality.

In the app list, Safari is at the very top with over 7 hours of screen time (49% of the battery usage). Could it be that Safari is looping and stuck in the background? Do you know what this is and how I can fix it?

I have attached the screenshots of my charts and the app list. Thank you in advance!
