Just 642 battery cycles but saying "Service Recommended"/

My MacBook Air 2020 has only 642 cycles but is saying Service Recommended. What can I do (other than go to the Genius Bar)?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

Make an appointment with Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Your cycle count depends a lot on use. My 2017 MacBook Pro cycle count is currently 79 so 642 seems unusually high. But, we use our devices differently and have different models. Sometimes comparing Apples to Apples isn't really comparing apples to apples. It's best to have someone look at it.
