Do you keep the Dim display on battery setting on or off on your M1/2 Pro/Max Macbook Pros? If you disabled it, did you experience much worse battery life, or are we talking a couple of minutes only? I found the display to be relatively dim when used on battery with the default setting to on, so I went and disabled it. I have 16" M2 Max MacBook Pro and before changing the setting I got around 15-16 hours with my typical usage. I will test further and see if disabling this setting severely affects battery life, but I really prefer the display brighter..
