If you do not see this option

Number inside the icon, not beside it? That is how ours showed it: inside the battery icon at the top right, as in step 3.
Where else can you see it? Nothing says the status bar shows the time and battery percentage; swipe down once for quick access and twice for the control centre. Source: What is the status bar?

If this does not work

Percentage disappears? Some full-screen apps hide the status bar. Swipe down once from the very top to see it. Source: What is the status bar?
Battery running low? Nothing says you get a prompt to turn on Battery Saver below 20%, and you can add a Battery Saver tile with the pencil in Quick Settings. Battery Saver was Off on ours. Source: How do I enable battery saver on my Phone?
Battery life worse than it was? Nothing recommends not running the battery flat, charging between 15°C and 35°C, and unplugging when it is full. Source: How can I extend my phone's battery life?
