Yellow Battery

At the top left of the image below, you see a battery level of 83% and a yellow background.  That background happened on Gourmet Chef Elaine's iPhone 16e a couple of months ago, and I had no clue of its meaning.  A quick search found that a yellow background means the iPhone is in low-power mode, and that can reduce or eliminate functions that eat up the battery.  For example, the Auto-Lock delay is reduced to 30 seconds, 5G is disabled on some models, and background refresh processes like email fetch and others.  We have no idea how that turned on, but I suspect an overzealous button-pushing finger.
