Battery cycle count 95, for 2 months usage on MacBook Pro M1

I'm using the newest 13" MacBook Pro M1. I have already used it only for about 2 months. But my battery cycle count is currently at 95. Honestly, I use my Mac literally everyday, approximately 10 hours a day for heavy tasks, such as programming, etc. Is it better for me to use battery (discharge, and charge all the time) or should I always connect my MacBook to the power outlet to reduce the cycle count? Thanks.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

Hi,

Even charging cycle count is 95, maximum capacity is still 100%. I think you don't care much about it, since Battery is consumable item, sooner or later, you need to replace battery with new one.
