My pixel 2 battery doesn't perform how it should, when I got it I used to charge till 80-90% and I don't think I get the juice this phone can give. What do I do to make my battery life better? I got pixel 2 like a month ago

You haven't actually given us any specifics about what you're experiencing. Is the issue that the battery drains too quickly or that it doesn't charge correctly?

Drains quickly
Why do you only charge to 80-90%? Is this some superstition about overcharging? If so, forget that nonsense. If you want to maximise battery life, charge it fully.
Otherwise, you still haven't given us any specifics. You say "drains quickly" but that's all you've told us, so we've no way of telling whether what you are seeing is actually abnormal or not. Give us some examples: how long it lasts, what your typical activities are, how much time screen on, how you normally set the brightness, whether it drains during particular activities or when in standby, whether you are typically in a strong signal region or weak coverage. That's the sort of information needed in order for anyone to make an assessment of whether there's a problem. Also use the battery monitor (built-in or a third party app like GSam) to see what your main power drains are.
But first and foremost, charge it properly.
