My 12 inch Macbook (made in 2017) had the battery replaced in late December and on the battery status bar it says it needs to be serviced again. I thought the battery would have lasted longer- I checked and it has only been thru about 480 cycles. I was told the battery should be replaced every 1000 cycles. Is this normal and will it keep needing a replacement every 5 months or so?
