Is my 'screen' battery usage normal?

[AC Question]

Hello, Android Central. I bought the OnePlus 5 128GB version just a few days ago. I've been using it intensively over the last 4 days to test out all the features, and enjoy its super-smooth performance. On day 1, the screen battery usage was 5%. The second day, this number went up to 10-12%. I was still considering this normal. On day 3, the usage went up to 20%, and now on the fourth day when I'm posting this the usage is currently at 32%. I left my phone yesterday at 80% battery before I went to bed, and after 12 hours I saw it at 73%. I used it for about 3 hours, then at 4:30PM I reached 50% and I decided to dash-charge it for 20 minutes to 82%. I've been using it since continuously and now it's 7:40PM and it has dropped down to 58%. I consider this normal, and I'm happy with my battery life. My concern is just that the screen usage on the battery screen has risen to 32%, and I think that's a bit high. What do you think about it? My usage pattern has been fairly simple: Social Media browsing, two or three videos on youtube, an hour and something of gaming, and approximately two hours browsing in the 9gag app. My brightness is set to 10-15%, and my screen timeout is 30sec. Autosync is also off and doze mode is enabled.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Android Central. Every time the screen is on that's usage. I would say you're doing fine. It's also not a good idea to partially charge a battery.
