Yeah mine is at 73% and still says it is delivering peak performance. It does say I should replace it in the battery health menu, but I have never had a pop up message like this. Apple recommending replacement at 80% is just to get more money out of people.

It’s not only a bit of a cash grab; it’s very wasteful and harmful to the environment.

For reference I replaced my daily 8+’s battery 3 years ago and I’m at 76% with no degradation in performance (aside from the “new OS, who dis?” features designed for the newest hardware). Lithium batteries aren’t an annual replacement item and we shouldn’t test them like that

What does "no degradation in performance mean", cause mine is at 80% and the battery lasts like an hour if I use my phone.
