Strange behavior of the Battery chapter. Usage history

Hello everyone!

Macbook Air 2020

MacOS Big Sur 11.1

I did notice Strange behavior of the Battery chapter. Usage history.

The strange behavior is that for one or two days info graphics shows "Screen on usage" and sometimes it may not show at all. What is the reason I do not understand. Has anyone come across a similar one?

It’s reporting usage with the display open when running on battery. There is no ‘screen on usage’ when the Mac is plugged in and being used, nor when unplugged but sleeping.


The above looks like you used it on battery for a while, then closed the lid, then a few hours later plugged it in.
