Hi, my phone shuts down by itself at 80% battery life and is unable to start again until I plug it into a charger. The phone then can be used again but may randomly shuts down again. Any solution?

Recalibrate the battery level first?

How old is the phone battery? Maybe it is just worn out (usually after 2 years) and needs to be replaced.

Sounds like the capacity of your battery is in decline after years of usage. I believe your actual battery capacity is less than 20% (which is why your phone shuts off at 80%)

If you have AppleCare, you might be able to get your battery replaced. This is quite common.
