My MacBook Air M2 remains at ≈ 80% charge and is always plugged to the adapter. Should I unplug the power source and let the battery drain down periodically to increase the life of the battery? Or, is leaving it connected to the adapter and using 80% charge level feature give the best battery life?
MacBook Air, macOS 13.5

There is no need for you to try to manage the battery use. The MacOS manages the power/charging system very well. Neither your battery nor computer will be damaged by leaving the computer plugged in.

Should I go to battery power periodically on a MacBooK?
