Stick drift is unfortunately a very annoying issue that affects a lot of controllers. I've had some controllers survive through years of heavy gameplay and never get any stick drift others, and others that suffer from stick drift within a matter of months.
This has been the case across multiple consoles and multiple generations, it seems like an unavoidable issue.

As for the batteries, are you using new batteries each time, rechargeable batteries or the play and charge kit?

Unfortunately stick drift is common with all controllers form all platforms and occurs due to wear and tear.

The only way of fixing that issue is replacing/warrantying the controller or replacing the thumbstick sensors in the control yourself (requires good soldering skills)

Unfortuantly after a year the controller would no longer be under warranty. You would need to purchase a new controller .

clean the dust and stuff

sometimes this problem is related to dirt in/under the analog stick
