MacBook Air M1 battery health dropped to 98% after 33 full charge cycles

I have recently bought Macbook air m1 in sep 2024 . I am noticing that i have lost 2 percent of maximum capacity(98%) in just 33 full charge cycle . I have been using it for browsing, watching movies and youtube videos only. Is it normally for macs battery to degrade at this rate or is there any issue with the usage or battery health . please help

Actually, there isn't anything unusual about this. Lithium batteries lose the maximum capacity over time.


Apple does not consider that a Mac laptop's battery requires replacement until it cannot maintain, at least, an 80% capacity after 1000 recharging cycles.
