Smartphone batteries usually get damaged between 2-3 years of use, nowadays it doesn't matter if you use slow or fast charge that it's being determined by the charging cycles supported by the battery at the moment of the manufacture, I suggest you to learn how to disassembly your own phone and buy a replacement online to avoid big extra charges, it's more easy than it seems.
Mind will be 6 years at the end this month and still going strong (considering its age). I make sure not to leave it charged at 100% for a long time. I've read through some article in lemmy not ago that not charging it more than 80% will improve its charging life cycle - doing this now.
My Samsung S21 has a feature called "Protect Battery" which limits the battery to only 85% so you never fully charge it to 100% and thus conserve the battery more. Since I can still get a full day of battery with only 85% (topping it off when using wired Android Auto in my car) this has worked well for me. Not sure how accurate it is, but Accubattery reports my battery health is still at 92% after 3 years
