How much cycles of recharging should be on new MacBook Pro

Hi everyone! When I turned on my new MacBook Pro on M3 it showed me, that 7 cycles of recharging had already done. Is it OK? How much cycles are possible during the setting period on factory?

You have an expected 1000.


7 is brand new, next to nothing...


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 help optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.
