If you have set the time and date manually on your iPhone 6S or 6S Plus and notice that the battery percentage is no longer updating properly, Apple knows about the issue. The good news is that the company is working to fix it and has published a support page dedicated to the issue. The bad news is that an official solution isn’t yet available.
A fairly big discussion thread in Apple's discussion forums reveals a number of users running into the problem, dating back nearly to the launch of new models last September. Many of the users experiencing the issue had been manually adjusting their clock settings of the phone in order to bypass timer-based barriers in certain games, and Apple's suggestion about ensuring the time is being set automatically indicates the battery issue is indeed likely related to clock settings.
In the support page, Apple addresses the issue and assures users of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus that it is working on a fix. Weirdly, the company says the issue is caused by time zone changes, if done manually or automatically while traveling.
Apple iPhone 6S series owners are advised to reboot (restart) the device and follow these instructions.
Go to Settings >> General >> Date & Time and make sure that Set Automatically is turned on.
The company said "Apple is aware of this issue and is investigating the cause and a solution. If this happens again (after manual setting change) and you didn't change the time or time zone on your device, contact Apple Support”.
Nevertheless, Apple says it is aware of the issue and is investigating the cause and a solution.
