Hi and welcome to Android Forums
It may well be that your battery is old and tired and needs to be replaced. If your phone hsa a removable battery and you have access to another identical one, give that a go and see how long it lasts. Remember that a lot of third party batteries aren't as good as the OEM versions.
Don't forget that your daily usage will impact on how long the battery lasts. My HTC One will stay fine for five days if just connected to my home wifi. If I go out and use it though the battery life drops drastically.
You could always use an app called Wakelock detector - Play Store to see what apps are keeping your phone awake and therefore draining the most battery. Most battery apps, such as Gsam - Play Store or Better Battery Stats - Play Store will also tell you what apps are burning battery life. Most phones have this inbuilt but these two apps are known to be very reliable and are used by a lot of people on here, me included.
