I have just bought a new MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020. I'm quite worry about how to charge my Mac. I wonder if all the following methods have negative impact on Mac battery life?
1/ Charging my Mac while using it, even at 100%.
2/ Always charging my Mac to 100%.
3/ Unplugging at any point between 1% and 99% of battery status.
Yes, it is perfectly fine to use it while charging, even when at 100%.
You can charge at anytime, for any amount of time.
If near an AC outlet, use it on AC power. If you need portability, use it on battery power.
Do not repeatedly deplete the battery to low levels.

To add—
macOS Catalina 10.15.5 introduces battery health management, a feature designed to improve the lifespan of your Mac notebook's battery.
The Battery Health button appears in >SystemPreferences>Energy Saver —this feature is limited to Mac laptops with Thunderbolt 3 ports. That equates to all MacBook Pro models released since late 2016 and the Retina-capable MacBook Air models released since 2018.
