I bought the phone in January and when I checked the maximum capacity of the battery today I saw that it is at 99% is it normal after 204 cycle counts to be 99%?

Send flowers to Apple. Your battery is doing far better than expected. As Bob Timmons correctly suggests, it's normal to see a 1% drop for about every 50 cycles. One thing you can be assured is your battery will continue to decline, so worrying about the natural chemical aging or your battery is a waste of worry. When the health dips to 80%, which is will at some point in the future, you pay Apple to replace the battery.

It is normal after 204 Charge Cycles that the battery would be at 96% Maximum Capacity.

That is because the battery will normally decline......on average.....at about 1% for every 50 Charge Cycles.

Your battery is doing great. Much better than average. You should consider sending flowers to Apple.
