Hey,
Thanks for taking the time to read!
Ive been using my MacBook for almost an 10months now and I feel my battery is gone very bad. I also gave my laptop for apple servicing for a fault in Keyboard and trackpad which was under the 1yr general warranty. I'm attaching my battery monitoring data from both apple n other apps like coconut battery. Just lemme know if im having an issue.

After 10 months of use, you are likely having no issue.
Rechargeable batteries can lose some initial charge quickly and the last for a long time at that level before losing capacity, some will hold initial capacity for a long time and then start to lose capacity, some will start slowly losing capacity from day one, and any other possible combinations. It is just the nature of rechargeable batteries.
FWIW, don't try to micromanage your battery and just use the Mac. If you reach a point in time where the working time on battery is not long enough to meet your needs, then start to worry or just get the battery replaced.
Personally, my charge capacity dropped 8% in the first 3 months. A year later it is still at that level.
