Hi I have macbook pro 14" purchased 2022 January. While my battery health is at a 87% and I always have low power mode on, I have noticed my laptop battery ran low quickly. Today I have only used my laptop for 5 hours and only for chrome searches, no video, and my laptop battery has dropped from 100% to 22% already.
The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.
