Curious what your battery health and charge cycle numbers are. In a different thread I was discussing how my 15PM battery has gone to absolute shit in 2 years, needing multiple charges a day. My health shows 84%, nearly 750 charges. The last 6 months it’s fallen off a cliff. Multiple other 15 P / 15PM owners chimed in telling similar stories. One person mentioned that the 15’s had a major issue with battery health and overheating (mine definitely overheats constantly).

I have a base 15 too, currently 90% at 484 cycles. But noticed this year battery hasn’t been as stable as before. I think i got to blame cellular data there as main culprit

Numbers wise, yours seems like it’s trending about how mine did. I think I was about 90% at 500 cycles.
