In 9 Months and only 46 Battery Cycles, I'm down 8% battery life. - M2 Pro (alien.top)

There's no way that can be a normal degradation of a professional grade battery. Generally this is light use when I want to get out of the office and sitting on the couch or coffee table.

Ok I’ll give this a shot.

Thanks for the insight!

no worries, do you keep it plugged in all the time?, also make sure to check what battery health % mac os tells you: go to settings>battery>click on the i icon in battery health bar and tell us what maximum capacity % is, these third party apps can be sometimes inaccurate

Yeah MacOS is reporting the exact same numbers, not sure if iStat menus pulls from the OS.

My usage is all over the place, it's a healthy mix of plugged in, on the couch, on the go, for work meetings when I want to move around the house etc.

might be an issue with the battery then, try out the battery calibration once and if it doesnt work hit up apple
