Has your battery been draining quickly after the recent update?! I have to charge my Samsung S23 every day now, instead of every 2 to 3 days.
Have you checked to make sure the Verizon App Manager hasn't downloaded a bunch of unwanted apps and deleting whatever such apps you don't want/need/use? Would also suggest disabling the Verizon App Manager after any software update as it always turns itself back on after updates and may be sucking up a bunch of resources on its own, hence using the battery faster.
If you haven't restarted your phone since the update, try that too, as well as permanently deleting any old emails and text messages if the Trash folder is enabled, and clear your internet cache.
