MacBook Air m1 16/256 Battery life

Hello everyone.

I got a MacBook air m1 two weeks ago and am wondering about battery life. As I heard, many people's batteries last 15 hours, even if mine lasts for about 9 hours (100 to 0). Have I got a defective battery? What should I do? Maybe it's completely normal.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
