My computer only works when it’s being charged. When I unplug it, it automatically shuts down and won’t work unless it’s plugged back in. SOS thank you!

Batteries are considered Consumable Products. Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced. The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%. Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.
