2019 Battery Charging Issue-MacBook Pro

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 15 inch and it will not charge the battery past 1%. The battery icon has an "X" through it. Since it won't charge, once I remove the charging cable the Mac shuts off. Can anyone help with this issue.


Also, I read an article that after 2008 Mac had non-replaceable batteries, is this true?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.2

Batteries are considered Consumable Products. Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced. The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%. Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.
