Mine is at 80% and it has stayed there for months

I have extended apple care so whenever it goes to 79% i am eligible for a battery change

But i've noticed it just WON'T go below 80%.... Wonder if they do this on purpose ! Would love a new battery.
 
I think on purpose due to the complaints a few years ago. Mine also says 80% and Apple told me they don't replace under warranty unless it goes below...convenient.

But, the battery still is good on my M1 MacBook Pro as I keep it on power most of the time for video editing.
 
Have you calibrated the battery recently? For that you should charge it to 100%, use it until it shuts itself down, then immediately charge. After check the health again.
 
I did and it's still at 80%
This is quite suspicious. I feel like it's never gonna drop below 80%.

Mine is still at 99%. It's almost always plugged in, but I've only charged it to 80% since I got it.

I took this screenshot on battery. I've been using this on battery pretty much for the past 7 hours.
