I have a Macbook air M1 which is little over an year old (12 months)
it clocked just 32 charge cycles.
suddenly while charging today , the battery stopped charging and went to 1 percent.
now, its saying service required.
how can the battery be dead in just 32 charge cycles with just average use?
no overcharging, no use of heavy applications, nothing unusual

Charge cycles are of little importance; not much more than eye candy; capacity is the important metric. Unfortunately, no two batteries age alike.
If the Mac is completely dead you need to contact Apple support. But what have you done to try and restart it?

I even updated the OS and reboot it.
it is working when its plugged in
I do not want to pay for the battery replacement in just 1 year with very average usage.
the battery health went from 98% to 1% in a second and I am not convinced its wear and tear.
