Battery health falling very fast.

Hi,

I purchased a MacBook Pro M1 in December. Since then I have been using it almost daily for writing purposes and for Netflix. But the battery health has been dropping very fast although it is plugged in almost all times.

It now sits at 92% with just 91 cycles.

Should I be worried?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Seven months old and reporting 92% capacity - sounds about normal. As for solution - what is expected ? Batteries are considered Consumable Products. Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced. The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%. Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.
