Help Battery gone haywire

What could possibly cause this?

There are some prior events that might be part of the reason, although I can't be sure:

For a long time I had a steady battery life of about 5 days and 20 hours. At some point, possibly after an OS update, the battery life suddenly dropped to a steady 4 days and 20 hours. This was not a gradual drop, and instead happened pretty much overnight. I do not know if this was because of an OS update, or perhaps a sign of a failing battery. Also, I have no idea if this is related to the above issue.

However, recent events are much crazier than that. I recently forgot the phone on the charger even though it was on full charge, for something like 10 hours. Of course normally this shouldn't be any kind of problem, as I assume phones are designed to not break from that. I disconnected the charger from the wall socket without waking up the phone or disconnecting it from the charger. Again, this shouldn't be a problem either.

However, the phone started acting really weird. The charge percentage was stuck at 100% for like a day, and the phone would at random times issue the signal of "battery full, disconnect charger". I shut the phone down and restarted it, and now it showed a battery percentage of about 70 or such.

Some days later, when the battery was pretty much drained, I recharged it, and a couple of days later I got what the image above depicts, which has never happened before.

As said, I don't know if any of this is related to the problem, but wanted to be as specific as possible.
 
What model of phone?

OS updates can affect battery life. They can sometimes produce other adverse effects, in which case backing up your data and doing a factory reset can often help.

There's nothing that you've done that's in any way abnormal, or anything the phone isn't intended to handle. How old is the battery?
