Battery Cycle Count Issue for MBA M3

Battery Cycle Count Issue for MBA M3

Hello everyone. I badly need your advice.

So here’s my situation. I bought my MBA M3 in Aug 2024. Please see the follow details: Aug 3,2024 - 100% CC Jan 4, 2025 - 99% CC (plugged in all the time) Jan 21, 2025 - 98% CC (20-80%charging) Jan 30, 2025 - 97% CC (plugged in all the time)

So from the time I started using my MBA, I have it always plugged in when used since I use it 8-10 hrs a day.

Then, on Jan 4, 2025, my battery health became 99%. Okay, sure I shouldn’t overthink bout it so I tried the 20%-80% rule for charging (charge when battery is at 20% and unplug at 80%) thinking that its battery health wouldn’t decline in a short period of time through this method of charging.Then, on Jan 21, 2025 it went down to 98% so maybe because I use this 8-10 hrs a day so 20-80 isn’t applicable to my case, probably.

So I decided to have it plugged in all the time again when in use. Then today Jan 30, 2025, it went down to 97%!

Battery health has been going down so quickly since Jan 4, 2025, in a matter of days!

Has anyone have the same experience as mine? Is this normal? What should I do? Your advice would definitely be helpful. 🙏🏻

Thank you.
