M1 MBP down to 3.5hr battery life when writing code

I know right now it's all anecdata but I noticed this as well! My 2020 M1 Mac's battery life has significantly decreased as well, to the point where I need to charge twice a day like I used to for the old Intel Mac's.

Although this could just be my fault as I've already racked up close to 600 cycles on a machine that has only gotten a year and a half's worth of use.

Wow, that's a lot of cycles! Mine is 11 months old and has 46. I use it mostly plugged in with a second monitor, but I just recently took a trip and never charged it, even though I wrote 2/3 of a new app in Xcode.

Haha yeah! It's nice to see that other's machines are fairing up well. I'm a student so my machine gets a fair bit of wear and tear and theres just not much I can do about that unfortunately.

For another data point, my Dec 2020 M1 Air (which I daily drive) has 195 cycles.

How nice, my late 2010 MBA has 103, and is still on 89% health.

More anecdata: 175 cycles here, 99% max capacity.
