It means it’s fine.
You are not going to maintain either the battery health or the cycle count. The cycle count is how many charge / discharge cycles have taken place. The battery health is an estimate of how much of the original charge capacity is left. All rechargeable batteries lose their ability to hold a charge with time and use. It’s inevitable.
When the battery health reaches 80%, the battery should be replaced.
Don’t obsess over either one. Just use it and charge it as needed.

On average, the Battery Health will decline about 1% for every 50 Charge Cycles.
So, when you have reached 100 cycles, the battery will be at about 98%.
When you have reached 500 cycles, the battery will be at about 90%
Replace the battery when it id down to 80%
