I just wanted to check and make sure this was normal. For the most part my computer has been on AC power because I'm always near a plug. Recently I've been using it on battery more often and the battery went from 100% to 99.5 capacity which I figured is normal, batteries degrade over time. That was on 37 cycles. Now all of a sudden a week later on 42 cycles it dropped to 94.7. I'm not sure if this is something to be concerned about but it doesn't seem like using it on battery more often should cause it to crap out that quickly. The computer also feels warmer than it usually does.

I have AppleCare so either way it's covered until December 2021 but I just wanted to see if this is a calibration issue or if the battery really is that bad.
