On my early 2016 MacBook, macOS Monterey's low power mode is not available. See screenshots. According to Apple's Monterey page, the early 2016 MacBook should be supported.
Any idea what the reason is?
MacBook, macOS 12.0

If you don't have it, then you don't have it— is this new with your Monterey(?)
I suspect your 2016 Macbook does not support the feature...

Note this is a new feature introduced in Monterey. This page says it is supported on the MacBook early 2016: https://www.apple.com/macos/monterey/
See the end of the page (search for "low power") and footnote 13.
One other thought, although I suspect leroydouglas nailed the answer:
My MacBook Air does offer Low Power Mode under MacOS Monterey. However, I see it not only in the System Preferences > Battery > Battery display you have shown, but it also appears in System Preferences > Battery > Power Adapter. Take a peek there just in case.
Hey, just about i commented on this page, i ask apple support about this issue. I dont know what kind of sorcery is this, but after I asked them the Mac OS Monterey page says LPM only support MBP and MBA like the picture below. This means 2017 MacBook also doesnt support it.
Well its glad to know there is no support on 2016 Macbook, so we wont have to be curious anymore.

Hey, im also using early 2016 MacBook and currently having the same issue like yours. im glad and sad at the same time knowing that im not the only one having this issue. but im stressed that nobosy talks about this issue and giving a solution.
apple literally said this feature is available from 2016 macbook and MBP, and doesnt say the air is supported. but here we are while the air has the low power mode and the MacBook doesnt. I hope there will be a solution
No, it is not there for me. It is weird that you have it. According to Apple it is only supported on the MacBook and the MacBook Pro 2016 and newer. Not on the Air.
Seems they have updated and corrected the footnote. Thanks for posting it!
macOS Monterey Low Power Mode not available on Early 2016 MacBook 12"
