    Even if it were in 50% it would still be doing great numbers compared to other laptops.

    I honestly would not replace it until it only last about 4 hours on a charge. At 86% probably still does 10 hours.

      Likely true (I own an M1 Pro and Air), I’m more concerned about battery swelling. The chemical changes are accelerating, and the first casualty is the trackpad. Worth $200 to get it swapped out asap.

        Also true! I would definitely have a repair shop have a look at it to see if the battery needs to be swapped. It could be that the OG owner was just using it constantly for heavy work.
