Before I retired my iPhone 6 at the end of last year, I had to make sure the battery stayed above 60%. If it didn't, it was dead minutes later. (Rae Rae might be able confirm witnessing this if she happens to read this post; it definitely did happen at least once when she was visiting last year). I've contemplated putting the latest iOS update on there which has the battery health stuff in it just to see how bad it really was, but would have to dig the phone out of the drawer its currently in.
I know I've seen others wander around with portable battery banks so they can have their phone "plugged in" while on the go. Its not my favorite solution, but it might be able to get you through. The one I have is pretty tiny and can easily fit in a pocket or bag, and has gotten me through a few full charges of my phone before I need to charge it back up again.
I can't say I've seen any battery drain that is out of the ordinary coming from my current phone while on the RSOF. Perhaps there are other apps also running in the background eating up some battery too?

RSOF seems to suck my battery life, it always has, but today at 50% dead phone - means battery is not powerful enough for RSOF any more. But it seems fine on Google and such. So I'll just have to make sure I'm plugged in within RSOF. I'm trying to come in less anyhow which isn't easy
Going a day without RSOF is tough - I'll try and knock my time down.
Well, the more power you demand from your phone, the quicker the battery will drain. A healthy battery will be able to hold a decent amount of charge before depleting to zero for a reasonable amount of time. However, batteries aren't ever-lasting which means as time goes by, your battery will start to degrade as it uses up its charge cycles. It will continue degrading until one day it won't stay on for even a minute, or worse, won't come on at all.
Continuously charging your phone only further adds to the drain.
I've read that to get the most out of a battery and make it last longer, you should avoid doing long charges constantly (aka 0-100). It's better to do shorter charges as this results in less charge cycles being used up (the less that get used up, the longer the battery will stay at healthy levels). I.e. I remember when I was using an S6 Edge (dead now). Charging it to 100% would result in more charge cycles than charging to 80% (the difference was quite massive - a difference of 0.40 compared to 1+ for example).
With your current battery health though, it's probably not worth taking measures to prolong its life as it's already pretty much considered dead/bad. .

I don't have a phone. Waste of cash.
I'm the only 1 in our family that does not have a mobile phone. I hate them with a passion. I should have 1 though as I drive a car and ride a motorbike (not at the same time)
I could break down in the middle on nowhere.....
Also people spend far too much time on their phones when they should be playing RS.
