my macbook pro keeps losing battery

Hello! my MacBook Pro keeps losing battery, it could be on 90% and I would not have used it all day and then when I open it.. its dead! it charges very fast (for example it could be at 20% then go up to 90% in 5 minutes). I do not understand what is happening! Can you please help me? Thankyou!!

    Resetting the system management controller (SMC) can resolve certain issues related to power, battery, fans,

    and other features.


3. Startup in Safe mode. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262 Choose the appropriate method.

     Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items, 

     system extensions not required by macOS,

     and fonts not installed by macOS. It  also does a basic check of your startup disk, 

     similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility

     And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, 

     which will be created again automatically as needed.
