M1 Pro/Max Battery life check in

[Lucas Curious]

I use my 16 M1 Pro mainly on battery and then MagSafe fast charge

100% Life
77 cycles

I find this suspicious since my previous MacBooks had around 95% or less life at this point.

I find this Mac to be phenomenal. I get all day battery life and it fast charges from 0-100% in around 90 min. something like 1.5-2% per min. 3 months of daily use and I enjoy opening it everyday. I bought AppleCare for 3 years assuming the battery will drain below 80% 2.5 years in with my use scenario as usual and id get a free battery replacement but I get the feeling Apple may win this time.

c'mon, you have to use it harder

Before many people got their computer, you have completed 77 cycles, I am still 5 cycles, most of them use AC power

32 cycles, 100%.

Granted, I'm docked and plugged in 95% of the time...

needs to stop the nervous breakdowns over cycles and battery health. I just use the machine and don't fret.

I'm on 33 cycle counts, I usually work in power mode hooked up to 2x External 4.2K monitors... Honestly battery is pretty good but sadly I use MS Teams a lot so I can easily kill it due to Rosetta compatibility.....

clearly I am using the machine however I feel like, probably in the worst ways. Reading these forums over the years I noticed people try to preserve MacBook batteries by plugging in and losing convenience. This may be completely unnecessary today more than ever before and im ok with being the test monkey.
