Battery going down when charging

Hi,


my recently purchased Macbook Air 2020 is plugged in all the time to a power source. I noticed that battery is going down from 99-100% to 92-96% and then it goes back up. What is this and why is the battery not at 100% all the time when plugged in? Why is it fluctuating even though notebook is charging all the time? Thank you

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi,

Resetting SMC could solve the issue.
