Help CAT S75 says battery usage data isn't available.

Personally I'm not a fan of adding an anti-virus/anti-malware app to an Android phone, perhaps when there's an actual need but otherwise it is just using up system resources. The Android platform is not comparable at all with Windows in this aspect.
But getting back to OP's original posting, @nickdalzell brought up a good point. It might be just a matter of waiting a few more days or weeks.
Otherwise, I'd recommend the AccuBattery app:
play.google.com
It displays a lot battery and power stats in more detail than the Settings menu itself. (A typical Android install shows the most common stats most consumers need, The AccuBattery utility is a lot more expansive and informative. It's for users who want more power usage info.) Also a plus point, it is just detecting and analyzing existing data, unlike some other more dodgy 'make your battery last longer' apps that try to their own power curves, interfering with the default Android power usage already implemented. Also note that you'll need to wait a bit for AccuBattery to access your phone's power usage.

How to disable fingerprint sensor from waking up screen?

I'm tentatively going to recommend you reset your own expectations about your phone's fingerprint lock screen -- currently you're seeing it as an annoyance but you might be a lot better off having it enabled as a fundamental privacy measure.
Or if a fingerprint isn't your preference, at least keep some kind of lock-screen option (i.e. pattern, password, etc.)
Unless you never take your phone out of your home and you live alone, a lock screen is basic protection from others to just pick up your phone and have full, unfettered access to your data. Also, note some apps like financial services, won't allow you to use them without a lock screen enabled.
Otherwise, you should be able to just go into your phone's Settings menu and delete your saved fingerprint(s). There is no such thing as a default fingerprint that's can be in place with any Android install. At some point you added your particular fingerprint(s) when you first set up your phone. Open up Settings, and in the upper screen use its search feature to find 'lock screen' to find which menu to use.
A more drastic measure that might be possible with your Redmi phone is to disable a lock screen completely. You need to enable Developer Options and if there's a ''Do not use Lock screen' option. Don't be surprised if that option isn't there (or something with a similar name), it's option list varies by manufacturer and Android version number. The Developer Options is integral with any Android firmware, it's just typically not visible by default. Be very judicious about any changes you make, you can easily make part of the functionality of your phone, That's why it needs to intentionally made visible by the user.

But just to repeat, start looking at a lock screen as a benefit, not a problem.

non carrier apps..
- Ask a question

Yeah my tablet is a Samsung and it has non carrier apps though, but always tend to turn off the non background data always.Oh, it's a very strange OS: something called "One UI 6.1", which is like Android but with the settings rearranged by Samsung.
But my previous phone was a Pixel (non-carrier) which also just had "mobile data" and "WiFi", and while I used custom ROMs with my phones before that, whether they were based on manufacturer software or AOSP there was still never a "non-carrier data" section.

"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen
"The Frontiersmen" by Alan Eckert, also "Wilderness Empire" and "Blue Jacket" by the same author
-All three are about the expansion through america's wilderness and native american lands. The author studied letters, diaries, newspapers, gvt. records, etc. of the time and compiled it into a narrative.
"Band of Brothers" by Stephen Ambrose

"20,000 Miles South" by Frank and Helen Schreider
-Another nonfiction.. a couple in the early fifties who take an old WW2 army jeep, fabricate it into an amphibious vehicle, and drive it from alaska all the way down to the southernmost tip of south america. Pretty amazing story.
"The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon" by David Grann
-Another true story of Col. Percy Fawcett, a famous explorer in the 20s who was obsessed with finding the lost city of El Dorado (city of gold) in the amazon.. he ends up dissapearing. Over the years following over a hundred people go in search of him and never return.
"The Ice Master: The Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk" - nonfiction narrative describing Vilhjalmur Stefansson's 1913-1914 attempt to reach the north pole. The ship gets stuck in ice. Stefansson leaves on a hunting expidition across the ice and doesn't return. Captain Robert Bartlett takes leadership and they all travel across the ice to "wrangel island" a rocky little island in the arctic. Eventually Capt. Bartlett and one of the Inuit guides take a small party of sled dogs and make it to alaska to send for releif. Keep in mind the temperatures range around 0 to -50 degrees (that's right NEGATIVE 50) and for a few MONTHS it is completely dark 24/7. It was over a year from the time the ship got stuck in the ice to the time the crew was rescued, 11 people died either in the journey over the ice or when they were stranded on the island.
