View battery usage history on a Mac notebook

If/when I go to SystemPreferences > Battery the "help" implies there should be 3 choices. One of them being "Energy Usage". I do not see that. Has the "help" not been updated or am I missing something on my Macbook Air M1

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi Ralph6410,


We understand that you're not seeing the "Energy Usage" under Apple menu > System Preferences > Battery > Usage History. In order to see the "Energy Usage", you'll need to click on the "Last 10 Days" tab: View Battery Usage History on a Mac notebook - Apple Support


Take care.

Sorry: When I go to help I get this:


View Battery Usage History on a Mac notebook

View Usage History to see your Mac notebook’s battery level, how much energy your Mac used, and how long its screen was turned on. You can check either the last 24 hours or the last 10 days.

  1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Battery, then click Usage History.
  2. Open the Usage History pane for me
  3. Select Last 24 Hours or Last 10 Days to see usage history for that period.
  4. Take a look at any of the following:
    • Battery Level: Shows the average charge level of your battery for each 15-minute period. Shaded areas indicate when your computer was charging.
    • Energy Usage: Shows how much energy your computer used each day.
    • Screen On Usage: Shows how long your screen was turned on each hour or each day.

Energy usage is not shown on my MacBook Air M1. Should it be?

I do get Battery Level and Screen Usage.
