I feel like 97 for only 22 cycles is too much but I am not sure. Should I worry?

I use this laptop for very very basic university work and never push it.

I got it September this year.

On apple products its a big random imo, i have 2 iphones both at around 200 cycles one of them is at 98% and the other at 92%

I have a refurbished m1 Mac air (16gb ram / 512gb ssd), 156 cycle count at max battery 96%

Your battery degradation is definitely not ok

Mine is at 99% with 59 cycle counts and I got it around April this year

wait until about 50-60 cycles before jumping to conclusions

that is reassuring, I will keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse

It can also be the way you are using your battery. Are you fully discharging and charging it again that be a thing. Try keeping it between 30% and 80% I use AlDente for this . And also contact apple if it keeps going down fast.

I haven't let it go down to zero, the lowest it goes is 20% and I only charge it up to 100 if I am going out.

How should I contact them, I feel like they always say "you are fine since its not under 80"

Then you are doing a good job at keeping it healthy

You can try to look at the Apple page of your country how to contact them or the retailer you bought it from

maxed out air, 130 cycles 99%. I’d say there’s something going on
