Macbook pro charging indicator

I just upgraded from a 2015 macbook air to a 2021 pro and noticed that the charger has no indicator light. I'm a bit worried about over charging my laptop as I can't tell when it's fully charged. Any thoughts or suggestions ?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Control Center in the top right corner will indicate the charge level.

Click the battery icon in the menubar will also show battery charge level.



A user need not worry about it.

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.
