Friends
i am using M1 Macbook Pro, with MacOS Monterey, I usually charge my macbook when battery goes to 1%, from last few days i saw that while charging from 1% to 96% it takes around 2 hour and at 96% it shows me 36 minutes left to full charge and suddenly it jump to 100% within 1 minute, i checked system report battery cycle count is 18 and battery health is at 100, i am worried about this issue, please someone help me about it
Thanks
 
There's nothing wrong. Those time estimates are always wrong. Ignore it.
 
But brother, in big sur and after few days of monterey it was working fine, taking 2 and half hour for complete 100% charging and now he is doing like this, secondly i have charged the macbook only 5-6 times and its showing cycle count 18 times. i am fed up by this thing and worried about the macbook :(
 
What was the cycle count when you got it? A dozen cycles when new is unusual, but not unheard of.

Some say it's better not to let it get down so low before charging if you don't have to. Many try to keep it between 20% and 80% most of the time. I don't know myself how much that matters.

I haven't checked when i got it, but checked when i saw this weird Battery jumping charging percentage, and i knew i have charged only 5-6 times because i have iMac at home and office, and mostly i use iMac.
About charging from low, i read somewhere that going too low and charging from 1 to 100 in one go will calibrate the battery and wont have any issue about it, thats why i am doing so.
 
Probably nothing to worry about with the cycle count, then. Probably had a bunch of cycles when you got it.

Don't know how accurate the remaining charge time indication is. As long as you get normal battery life, you're probably OK.
