I worry because my Cycle Count is 25 and my friend is 49, so I don't know if there is a problem with my battery

Your Mac is still under warranty. Just because you bought your Mac same time as your friend—this does not make for a direct comparison without all variables known.

You can expect to get cycle count of 1000 for your battery.

Check back after the next update is released 11.6 and see if any of this changes for you—

Mine is currently doing the same thing. I use it plugged in quite a bit and it usually goes to the plugged in status and allows the battery charge to drop to 80% and then maintains it there. I used it without being plugged in a week or two ago and since then it has been showing 100%, Fully Charged and displays the lightning bolt icon. I'm not sure if this is a recent problem related to the last update or it it is just a bit flaky in going to the plugged in icon (it has done that before).

I'm not worried about it and I wouldn’t be concerned about a 2% difference compared to your friend.

Personally I wouldn’t worry about it. It's a very minor difference. I don't see that it is any indication that there is a problem with your battery.

I wouldn't do it and I'm not recommending you do it, but if you are continuing to worry, there is a Get Support link at the top right of this page.
