Me, over 22 hours in December, watched 2 World Cup games airplay to TV
spent most of they day typing, photo-editing, streaming tv shows then fell asleep
the MacBook Air m1 *Gb silver slept-
then I woke top the next day, had 45% left so I watched more world cup, typed
and plugged the MBA into the adaptor which shoe the battery usage which gave me these results
The MBA still had 14% usage battery left.
last week I unplugged the MacBook Air an would get 77% battery after an over night charge.
I forgot to investigate that, but I do keep my MBA plugged in over night.
My MacBook Air in 2010 would get 5 hours top and worked great!
until Mavericks was introduced.
now I keep that MBA unplugged with a new OWC battery purchase in December.
hope this post helped!

Coconut battery is great as well, I used that for my MBA and iPad since early 201?
It runs the daily, weekly and monthly routines that Mac computers run during those evenings! Sense most Mac user sleep the Macs every night these routine don't run1 The Onyx free application the Maintenence rt's wy outines upon applying! Like aI said before it's gin rapping these routines! That's why I suggest to people so their cache doesn't get out of hand! So use those routines about once every two months to your cache from going wild!
It is my understanding that the scripts actually do run when the machine is in sleep mode, using the efficiency cores. On Intel machines this used to be done with something called PowerNap, which isn't an option on Apple Silicon machines anymore.
To see when the scripts last ran, open terminal and type:
ls -al /var/log/*.out
