Battery readings are estimates and not 100% accurate. There's nothing to worry about. The link below should answer most, if not all, of your battery/charging questions. I highly recommend you take the time to read it.
 
Last week something similar happened too. But it continued to drop. By the 3rd day it will be drop to 97%. Subsequently, till below 95% and it will recharge via power.

All normal, nothing wrong with your battery.

It's normal that your battery may stop charging between 93-99%. For details, read the CHARGING section of the Battery FAQ. Really, if you take the time to read the FAQ, all your questions will be answered.
