Battery Cycle Count

Why does my cycle count for 3 yrs old MacBook Air show 1027, shouldn't it be lower?

Disclaimers:

My MacBook Air had to be repaired due to liquid damage to the motherboard. SOCs had to replaced.
I didn't buy a new battery.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

2021 MacBook Pro 16 Battery Health 93% after 6 Months Hi, I have read numerous articles on the community, but either their batteries are not depleting as quickly as mine or they are dated (like a few years ago), so I thought I want to bring my case to attention and see if it is normal that this is happening. Model: MacBook Pro 16" (2021) (M1 Max) Battery Health: 93% Cycle Count: 61 Purchased / Start using: July 2022 (6 months ago) I have been aware about the battery health precautions so I do the following few things daily: I use the official Apple Charger (140W) and the MagSafe cable I have battery management turned on Reboot my Mac from time to time Run mostly on power adapter but will still use unplugged from time to time I believe I am already doing all the right things here to preserve the battery, yet at this rate 7% per half a year, I will be at 72% at the end of the second year?! Can I be advised on whether this is normal or should I send it in to Apple? Thanks!

Could you kindly explain the correlation between cycle count and battery longevity?

My Macbook is sitting on my desk pretty much all day, and is plugged in. I unplug it at night when I shut the lid and go to bed.

Why do you unplug it at that point?

I didn't assume you were. Wonder where you would get the idea.

I hope I didn't make the expression of being judgmental either, cause I am not.

Now I am curious what makes you curious ;)
