Macbook Pro M1 2020 Battery Health

My Macbook Pro M1 2020 has only reached 49 cycles (since January 10, 2022). But in the past week, the battery health (Maximum Capacity) has dropped by 3%. Why is this happening all of a sudden? How to fix this?

This is normal— I would not be concerned. If it is not broke don't fix it.

Condition : Normal


Rule of thumb:

If you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on battery only

You battery is covered under the warranty—

unless you battery drops to below 80% only then does Apple entertain an issue. You are at 97%—w/ BHM you will see over time this can rise and fall.


You still have an expected 1000 cycle count on your battery
