MacBook Pro Battery Service?

I am getting notices that my MacBook Pro 2017 battery needs servicing. For past few months I have noticed that my laptop will go dark and die unexpectedly after being off the charger for even 2 hours. So I have left it plugged in to compensate. I have the battery health feature maximized.


If my battery health is waning - what will the Apple technicians do about it? Can they replace it in the store?

OR - Do they have to keep it overnight and will I have to backup all my data in the event it is a really big problem?

I can't afford to be without my laptop even one day right now as teach college online! Too much to do!
