Battery Status Bar not visible in Menu Bar

Battery status bar is not visible in Menu Bar. I also tried going to Control Center ->> Other Modules, but I was unable to locate the battery option, which allows me to select whether or not I want my battery status to be shown on the menu bar.


Could someone please explain to me why this is happening? Is it feasible given that my battery is entirely dead? My Mac shuts down the moment I unplug it from the power source. However, this raises the question of whether the menu should continue display the Battery Status Bar even in the event of a dead battery.
