MacBook pro m1 battery problem

I have a MacBook pro M1 since march 2021. At first the battery lasted a long time, but now I have to charge it much more often. In 10 minutes the percentage drops 6 points just using one navigation window. The battery capacity is still 100% but I wanted to know if there was any way to check that there was no problem. I live in Argentina so I do not have an Apple to go to, however, does Apple do macbook battery replacement?

    And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and 

    the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.


4. Battery Management.

   How battery health management helps

   The battery health management feature in macOS 10.15.5 is designed to improve your battery's lifespan

by reducing the rate at which it chemically ages. 

   The feature does this by monitoring your battery's temperature history and its charging patterns.

   Based on the measurements that it collects, battery health management may reduce your battery's

maximum charge when in this mode.

   This happens as needed to ensure that your battery charges to a level that's optimized for your usage

—reducing wear on the battery, and slowing its chemical aging.

   Battery health management also uses the measurements to calculate when your battery needs service.

Yes. Apple will replace battery in recent models of Mac notebooks.
