I had my nearby Apple store replace the battery in my iPhone X almost 5 months ago, and its battery health (or as Apple calls it "maximum Capacity") is now already at 93%.
Is this normal/acceptable? I'm working from home, charging my phone every night when it goes down to about 20%, rarely 10%. The "Optimized Battery Charging" option has been always on.
Any suggestion would be appreciated!

There are no guarantees about the performance. Typical performance is 500 cycles to 80%, but there are just way too many variables for all batteries to perfectly arrive at the same outcome. Heck - I had a Mac battery that was about 94% battery health brand new out of the box and I couldn't do anything about it since it hadn't hit 80% battery health (took over 5 years to reach that).
The warranty on all repair work and parts is 90 days unless it's still within the original warranty or AppleCare period. If it dropped below 80% before then, I'm sure that it would be replaced under warranty. Not really much you can do about it.

Thanks for the info, y_p_w!
I know it's disappointing, but it's a lot like tires where sometimes they just don't last and it's hard to point to a reason why they don't last.
