I have AppleCare plus. Can I get a new battery? This is really strange to lose 3% after only 40 cycles. This laptop is practically new. Is anyone else having this issue?
Got a tip for us?

My m1 MacBook Pro with only 40 cycles is already down to 97% battery capacity. Is anyone else having this issue?

I wouldn’t call it an issue (yet). Battery capacity fluctuations of this magnitude are common and normal. If you see further rapid drops in capacity though, call Apple.
If that math checks out your battery will have 1333 total cycles, so you’re still way good! 😀 use and be happy don’t worry about it it’s just a number
Lots of similar threads about this. Too early to worry, especially if that is a value provided by a third party app like Coconut or Better Battery 2. Third party apps use the
ioreg value which fluctuates up and down.
It is the official battery health from apple on the MacBook. Coconut battery says 92%

Maybe you got a lemon. Unfortunately that happens.
Take it to the Genius bar and have it checked.
I wish I could but I live two and a half hours away from an apple store.
