Is the following battery info. for an MBP (M1 Pro) normal?
Health Information:
Cycle Count: 88
Condition: Normal
Maximum Capacity: 83 %
With such low wear, I feel that the capacity is dropping way too fast. The computer is still under Apple Care protection. Could this be a warranty matter?
Apple's traditional marker for replacing the battery under warranty is that it falls UNDER 80% health at less than 1000 cycles. Your health number is headed in the right direction but is not quite there.
Still, with such a precipitous drop in health in so few cycles, I also recommend you have Apple evaluate now.
How often do you run your Macbook Pro on battery power alone?

Yes, it could be, especially if you are not getting what you consider to be acceptable daily longevity from the computer.
You can make a Genius Bar appointment for hardware service and support using this link:

I usually have it on charge all week days, sometimes for several weeks in a row (but then the charger takes it downs to top 80% automatically) and it runs on battery most of the time on weekends. This strategy has worked fine on other computers (even without the 80% safety catch), keeping the battery in good shape.
