iPhone 12 Pro Max Battery status at 99% just after a month

Yep. I say 85% because it would make the user aware that the battery is going to need a replacement soon, kind of like when your car tells you that a service is due in xxxxKM/Miles.
Hi guys, thanks you all for the answer.
I know it's not really a problem, but a really picky guy (damn), so this thing is bothering me, especialluy because the most of the device (12/12P/12PM) are still at 100% even when older than mine.
I checked via coconut and yes, it's around 98.9.

I say enjoy your phone and quit worrying about battery life. If phone works then battery works as well.
Mine is still at 100% at the moment and I’ve had it since launch. I’m a heavy user but I never leave my phone charging overnight. Just prefer not to. I always charge it before I go to bed and unplug it right when I’m about to sleep, whether or not it reaches 100% charged. My battery lasts me the entire day anyway so I’m not worried about it. I only charge it once a day and it’s always before bed. Every persons usage is different and that could or could not affect the battery
my 12 pro max decrease the bettery so quickly,have to charge it once every 2 days even I didn't use it a lot
People stress way too much about batteries. Batteries are going to degrade inevitably. There's no avoiding it. Enjoy your phone and replace the battery when it needs it and don't stress about it.
I wouldn't worry about it. Track it over time. I've used coconutBattery since my iPhone 6+. My 6s+ came 96% from the factory, and stayed that way for almost 2 years. Some phones I've had come 110% from the factory, and they dropped quite a bit after almost 2 years of usage. My last 2 phones were barely over 100% and dropped a few % after a year.
I like to run mine down to 0% then fully charge in the evening, I’m not a not a heavy user so that’s every 3 days approx
Three days is fine in my book.
Three days is good but that’s a lot of additional stress on your battery. I’d charge at 20%. Batteries are happier at 40-80% if you can do that.
This is not possible. 😅
I never get why but some people here increase real phone's age or tend to say "I want/plan to hold my phone for 3-4 years" while they upgrade annually or max every 2 years. 😅
Definitely not something I would recommend doing with lithium ion batteries, you will end up putting more stress on the battery if you fully charge it and drain it to 0 every day. Very bad for the battery tbh.
11 Pro Max will only be 2 years old towards the end of this year though...
This may make you feel a little better

Battery health fall from 92% to 89%
The battery health in my iphone xs fall from 94% to 89% in just one night. is this normal?

I am convinced that if you are trying to not use your battery, apple's battery health code actually reduces its max charge and as a result, indicates reduced health.
Why do I think this?
My 2020 MacBook Air is at 85% after 82 cycles, but has stabilised there.
Basically: use the battery as you require, and stop trying to out-smart the in-built battery management.

It is good to follow the main advices: don't go below 20%, use optimized charging, try not to leave it at 100% too long, don't charge during heavy use, and ideally, use the 5W power brick.
However, you buy an iPhone to use it, not so you have a battery to take care of. So the first rule is: use your iPhone the way you want to.
If your battery health drops below 80% during the first year (very unlikely), use your warranty to get a new one.
If your battery only drops below 80% later on, either learn to live with a smaller battery, , spend $69 on a new battery, or sell it and get a new iPhone.
For comparison, my iPhone 7 Plus is now at exactly 80%, after 4.5 years of intensive use. 80% is still absolutely fine for me. So it's a non-issue really. Also, the battery of an iPhone 12 Pro Max is massive, so at 80% it will still be a huge battery.

I have a launch day iPhone 12 PM and its battery health is still at 100%.
I always use a 5W wireless charger and charge overnight, that’s why the battery health is still at maximum after four months of heavy use.

Nope.
Here are the few basic rules:
• Keep the cells moving - whether that's using the device (i.e. discharging the battery) or charging
• Store a battery at 50% - if the battery charge will not be changing for awhile, try to leave/keep the level as close to 50% as possible.
• Avoid extreme ambient temperatures

Battery cells degrade as they age and are used. However, following the above recommendations will keep the degradation at a minimum (barring any defects).
