My M1 Pro MB's battery capacity has downgraded to 99% in 22 days

I bought a this laptop exactly 22 days ago and now when I look at maximum capacity it is now 99% and my cycle count is 11. Is this my fault. If it is what should I do?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

About Battery Degrading:

What has occurred is normal. Batteries degrade as they are used, eventually depleting (which you should avoid). It cannot stay at 100%. I have had mine replaced a few times, due to high use. I do not use it as much at this moment in time. So, I have not had to replace it in a while. Unfortunately, there is no way to know how nor when this degrade occurs.


So, You are Fine for Now:

Apple recommends that you get a new battery when the Battery Health reaches 80%. So, if the Battery Health is greater than 80%, there is no need to change the battery (yet).
