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.

Your battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles.
The one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery.
Apple offers a battery replacement service for all MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries.
Hi,
I think it's a reasonable figure about dropping capacity. As you know, battery is expendable item.
but don't you think the rate it has dropped is quiet weird
to retain upto 80% means till max cap of 20% or retain upto 80% means till max cap of 80%?
It basically means that if it reaches 80% in under 1,000 cycles, then it’s eligible for a replacement. 😉
Either way, you win‼️
yeah so seeing the drop rate don't you think it's weird
means 97 max cap in 1 month that too also in just 38 cycles
You’ll get a free battery replacement! 😁
ok so u r talking about battery replacement
but don't you think the rate it has dropped is quiet weird
that was something very simplified, thanks a lot
i literally got worried and made a conclusion that battery should be changed
