I am using this phone since Dec 18 and changed battery 2 time. As on date it is 👑 King no issue and Software updated iOS 18.7 (26). In my life I think it may not be possible to use any phone such long time 👏

The best thing to do is to get a newer phone and forget about it. You have already spent a lot of money and time trying to fix the problem. Just save your time and frustration and get a new phone.
