MacBook Pro Gaming AFK while Charging all night

If I leave my MacBook Pro M1 2020 model afk all night on a game while charging the whole night too for about a month, will it damage the battery or the MacBook itself? I leave the MacBook on the lowest graphics possible on the game and turn the brightness all the way down, is it okay to do this for a month?

MacBook Pro M2 16 inch battery life Hello Fellow MacBook Owners recently bought a MacBook Pro M2 Pro 16 inch , and I am a bit surprised on the actual battery life, as this was actually my main decision factor. I see in reviews and tests that everybody is astonished by 16-17+ hours of battery life, but honestly mine with absolutely low profile usage ( safari, outlook, and some chat apps) is barely making 8-9 hours, in addition to that the back of the display heats up surprisingly. I am MacBook owner since many many years and the last M1 Air did kind of the same job in terms of battery, with same usage. When tested now I fully charged both M1 Air 13 inch and M2 Pro 16 inch, opened the same browser, website, and a few apps, and in the activity monitor in M1 Air shows 7 hours :47 mins , while the M2 Pro 16 shows 7 hours :23 mins remaining time. With advertising 22 hours of straight streaming time, I 'd have expected at least two days of working without charging...which I clearly dont get. ( almost forgot yes, screen is dimmed 70%) Any similar experiences? Thanks and greetings
