MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro battery tracker jumping all over the place/inaccurate.

My MacBook battery tracker seems to jumping all over the place according to this graph. This is weird because my battery percentage does not correlate with this - the charging up should be a smooth curve and the discharging during use is also more smooth. I've tried restarting the computer, updating the OS, etc., but nothing has worked. I know this is a minor, almost cosmetic issue, but it still peeves me as I like referring back to this occasionally during peak usage. Any thoughts?

You do not have to micro-manage the battery charging. Let the software work for you.

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.
