M4A to FLAC

I had an m4a music file with a bitrate of 277 kb/s. (downloaded from Apple music using a TG bot). On converting it to FLAC, using a regular online converting service, the bitrate of the FLAC file was 1633 kb/s.

Can someone please explain this? Is the output FLAC better in quality?

What? Do lossy files degrade over recurrent use?

I’m pretty sure they don’t. I just searched about it and confirmed that they don’t.

I mean, surely it will degrade if I convert it into something else but not by just listening to it. Right?
