I can not see "battery health" in my version of Mac OS, which is Big Sur 11.4. I notice that my battery is running out sooner than I would think it should, but I can't check its health in System Preferences. Support docs say it should be there, but it's not. How can I get access to that feature on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)?

Battery Health Management is limited:
Battery health management is on by default when you buy a new Mac notebook with macOS 10.15.5 or later, or after you upgrade to macOS 10.15.5 or later on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
