Macbook pro battery health

No, that's normal and nothing to worry about. Generally, health will drop to about 90% over the first 100-200 cycles, then stay there for a long period of time. My 2019 16" MBP, bought in May 2020, is at 7 cycles and 96%. My 2017 15" MBP is at ~305 cycles and 91% health. My 2011 17" MBP is at ~760 cycles and 88% health.

Further reading: the new normal—

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.

Absolutely, yes. Best to run on AC as much as possible, it will extend your battery lifespan.

Your Mac has two Thunderbolt 3 ports (as in, third generation of the tech). The article applies.
