Bud. I hope someone gifts you hooked on phonics for the holidays. Maybe then you can avoid looking like a tool on the internet

You deliberately ignored the immediate following comment. You know, the one before you chimed in.

“I didn’t say they were. I said what the official threshold was and when messages like this will generally start to appear. Under 80% is expected and generally means the battery is behaving/degrading as expected over time. Above 80% is unexpected behavior and means something is wrong.”

You really got me

Literally never said that.

You’re bitter, it’s okay.

4 years working at apple as a Mac tech, thousands of appointments, I know what I’m talking about.

Your difficulty in understanding what I’ve been saying (that the battery percentage and message are related but not mutually exclusive) does not mean I’m wrong. Thank you though

Again no. I said that generally these messages start appearing at/below 80%. The alternative, seeing this message above 80% is indicative of an unexpected hardware failure. In OP’s case, that distinction would be important in how serious to take this message.

80% is the threshold for Apple to recommend a battery. That’s when messages like this generally start appearing.
