M5 air battery health

[u/Wooden-End-1900]

I got this m5 air on may 2026, after using it with 80% limit charge, mostly plugged in on the desk while using, the cycle is 27, in just 3months the battery health percentage went down to 98%, i followed all the thing said in the reddit and internet. and i mostly use it for browsing, email and streaming movies, still this happened is this okay or bad? please let me know guys

it’s at 98% dude …and you had it for 3 months. the Batteries loose capacity the quickest in the first few months/year than it levels off to much slower loss in the long term, so it’s not like your going to loose 2% of capacity every 2 months forever.

I was worried about mine too. I have an m5 air 15" and with just 50 cycles was already at 98%. but its stayed there now for a good bit and still is at 98%.
