I've also the same problem. I bought mba m2 2022 with 16gb ram 256 gb ssd combination 2 months ago and laptop had came with macos Sequoia version 15.6 . After I realized there's a problem on battery. I can spent maximum 3-4 hours on my mba. After I sent my laptop to apple service and they changed my battery. But I still got 7 hours maximum. When I surfed on internet I can see the people are using mba m2 getting more hours then me. It's really annoying. I got this machine for long battery, high performance but sometimes my laptop crashes and I can't go outside without charging adapter.

macOS 15.6 Sequoia ?

How long ago was the computer upDated to Sequoia 15.6 ?

Was the M1 MBA upGraded from a previous version of macOS, Directly to Sequoia 15.6 ?

If so, how long ago was this done ?

How may times has the computer been shut down and then restarted since the upDate / upGrade ?
