Camera app drains battery while asleep

I have a IPhone 14 pro. I went to bed at 05:00 with 53% battery, closed all apps and have always on display off, woke up at 10:00 with a dead phone, it was off and at 0%. Turns out (see print screens below) the camera app drained the whole iPhone in less than 3 hours while having only 1 minute screen on time. How is this possible? I didn’t charge it during sleep because normally this is not needed with more than half of the battery. I have the phone for a week now.

iPhone 14 Pro, 16
