Hello everyone and thanks for your answers in advance.
I have the new MacBook Pro 2020 and I'm dealing with an issue. I have an external monitor connected to my Mac through and HDMI and my Mac I have plugged in. The problem is that the battery drains even if I have my Mac plugged in! Does anyone know why this is happening? I thought it has to do with the external monitor, so I disconnected it and I just had my MacBook on. Even then, the battery kept on draining (1% every 10 mins). It reached 89% and now it started increasing again (now its 91%). I really find this inadmissible for the money I spent for it, and I want to hear your opinions. Do you think that maybe its a software bug? is this normal? I think that even when connected to an external monitor, it shouldn't drain battery because I have it plugged, so for me it really doesn't make any sense at all! Please, help!

update: the battery reached 100% (although I had connected the external monitor) and stayed there, I guess it was some kind of bug? the Mac also got warmer now, which means that its charging. Maybe before it didn't charge although I had it plugged in? (though the thunder icon was shown in the battery icon..) no idea, thanks for your help again
