Battery report "poor' - remedy to return to normal?

My 2017 Macbook Air (macOS Monterey) has suddenly reported a 'poor' battery. It appears to be as a result of several hours of downloading my recent travel videos to UTube. Downloading was done while charging and via Safari. The battery has always been 100%. I am really hoping the battery will revert back to its usual 100% - but any suggestions as to bring this about more rapidly? Do i need to have concerns? 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.

Thank you for responding. Icon at the top of the page titled HISTORY / CHARGEBERRY - picture of green colored battery. Under heading 'History - Current Charge" as a percentage is now indicating 100%. 'Health Rate' however indicates aAppreciates "POOR". Assume problem arose due to long periods uploading videos to UTube??

All good.! 'Health Rate' - NORMAL. Battery Level back to 100% - and stabilised. The screen on 'Usage' appears normal. Apparently the battery was pressured unduly by uploading several vacation videos over a relatively long period of time. Lsson learned. Thanks again.
