Battery

Hi all, I bought a new MacBook Pro 16inch around 5 months ago. Since then I've had only 49 charges, and recently with the lockdown its been plugged in for 98% of the time. Recently I've checked my battery capacity with three different apps and all three indicates that my battery health is at 85% packing in a maximum of 7500+ instead of the usual 8400+, the capacity is 8700+. However, indications with the option click on battery icon shows my battery health as Normal. Is this something I should be worried about?
