Macbook turns off whenever I unplug it and open an application

I noticed this yesterday and was concerned on what was happening, my battery was at 100% and i decided to open browser to play games like roblox, when the roblox app opened, my laptop froze and immediately shut down. I tried to manually turn it on but during the booting, it turned off again. I then plugged in my charger and it then finally turned back on normally but the battery percent was 10%, A message with title 'problem report' was displayed stating "your computer was restarted because of a problem." I then let it charge for a bit until it was at 100% but once i unplugged it, the issue happened again. I really hope there is a way to fix this as i can no longer use my laptop without it having to be plugged in

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

This could be an indicator that the Battery is failing or failed.

It can no longer provide enough Power to Reliable make the computer function

Batteries are considered Consumable Products.

Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced.

The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%.

Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.
