How much battery should we charge for Mac M1?

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.

A feature introduced into Big Sur was to preserve the number of Full Battery Cycles - there was an Algorithm coded into the macOS. It is perfectly Normal for Big Sur to Pause / Suspend charging the battery beyond 80% and hold it at that level. One can nudge / over-ride this by clicking the Battery Icon on Desktop Top Bar and allow charging beyond 80%. From observations, it will Pause / Suspend again once reading 90%. Same procedure to over-ride and will charge to 100%

Yes, charge it to 100%. You can leave it on charge as long as you like - you can't over-charge it. When it's run down to any level you can recharge it, but don't let it drop below 15-20%. There's not problem about charging it when it hasn't run down very far.

If you are near an AC outlet, leave it connected to the charge circuit.

If you need portability, use it on battery power.

Do not repeatedly deplete the battery to low levels.
