Given your M1 MacBook/Air 13-inch 2020+ model, may have another article

that covers aspects of use, charging, and keeping its battery maintained..


..Here's at least one reference, for now:


• Charge the MacBook Air battery - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/macbook-air/charge-the-battery-apdbc13fd966/mac



This may have been superseded by a specific reference to M1 Apple Silicon models.

Several features that used earlier support articles ~ were combined in M1 based ones.


• Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple Silicon - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/macos-recovery-a-mac-apple-silicon-mchl82829c17/mac


..With M1 Apple Silicon, an 'SMC reset' ~ Doesn't exist..


• How to Reset the SMC on an M1 or Intel Mac (?) | Macworld UK

https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/reset-smc-mac-26444/

Details on 'new workarounds' for M1 are suggested in above article.


Perhaps to restart in Safe mode could help, follow detailed instructions:


• How to use Safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


And maybe look into this?
