Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My laptop is fully charged (100%) when I turned it off (in sleep mode). where status is Low battery mode is ON and no apps using significant energy. I have noticed when I turned on my laptop after 3 days it has been fully charged, the battery drops to 92%. May I ask the reason? see below screenshot of my battery settings. thank you

Other than letting Mac sit there while plugged-in and automatically regulate
its status. That being charge awhile and then coast; if not sleeping. It won't go
over the 'full' charge. But may try to maintain any losses, if left plugged in.

Just be sure it's really turned-off if you want to see how it
holds a charge over a week's time; and leave it plugged in.
Good luck & happy computing! ☺︎

To shut it down is a good idea; but leave it plugged in, and the battery
can be intelligently monitored by the Mac and its system sensors..
It won't overcharge. Keep the contacts clean, or dust-free, btw.
A restart on occasion and a full shutdown is good for the macOS.
Take care & safe travels! ☃️
for your advise how to make the battery last longer while it was not being used.
Thanks. will it be best for the laptop to be in sleep mode all the time even if not being used or you need to shut it down if not used?
