As an independent shop owner myself the answer is QUITE obvious. The battery is most likely the issue and the “Apple Authorized Service Provider” was trying to sell you a replacement device for a much higher profit margin. Typically when the battery health drops below 85% is when people notice they’re charging multiple times throughout the day. You can order DIY battery kits from ifixit or check the reviews from local repair shops. I myself use batteries with higher capacity than the original so you get more runtime out of every charge.
