2024 was a leap year; I wonder if that affected it.

Agreed - there is not enough information provided.

Yes but OP was saying he's planning on getting a second battery, so he could just do that instead. That $181 battery I linked to is 1,280…

FWIW my mask isn't smelly.

I have a feeling your friends won't dare handle your phone either, judging from your username.
