Battery issues with MacBook Pro

I have a 2023 M2 Pro MacBook Pro 14 inch that I got in February this year. I try to keep my battery between 20% - 80% in order to avoid straining the battery of the device. However I notice that repeatedly when my battery gets around or below 20%, my MacBook randomly and abruptly shuts down. According to battery health in settings I have 100% battery health. I don’t use the Macbook for any intense purposes, mainly just University work and I take good care of the MacBooks hardware and software. It is definitely a genuine Apple product as I bought it directly from Apple. This is really concerning what is the issue and how do I fix it.

That concerns me. Normally the shutdown should happen below about 5 percent. In other Apple devices, I found that shutdowns at higher charge percentages or short runtimes after a full charge turned out to be due to a failed or failing battery.

Batteries are remarkably reliable devices but, as with any manufactured item, not all issues can be detected by final acceptance testing before the device leaves the factory.

I think your best action is to have Apple evaluate it immediately while you are under warranty.
