MacBook Air M4 at 85% battery health after 1 year and 234 cycles am I cooked?

I bought my MacBook Air M4 on May 15, 2025, and just checked the battery health today. It’s already down to 85% with only 234 cycles, and the condition still says “Normal.” My warranty expired literally 2 days ago. I use it for coding, college work, gaming, and some AI/ML stuff, so the machine does get pushed pretty hard at times. Still, 85% after just one year feels kinda rough. Curious if other M4 Air owners are seeing similar numbers at the 1-year mark. And has anyone had luck contacting Apple for a goodwill replacement after warranty expiry in a case like this? Worth a shot or a waste of time?

bought 5 pairs of shoes from a physical shop in Karol Bagh, Delhi for ₹10,000. I was in a hurry at the time and didn’t check the shoes properly at the shop.

Later I noticed that 2 pairs were the wrong color and the quality was not good. The shopkeeper agreed to exchange them.

I sent the 2 pairs back to the shop by courier. I paid around ₹600 for courier charges and also paid ₹1,000 extra for a different shoe.

The value of the 2 returned shoes is about ₹5,400.

It has now been about 2 months and I still haven’t received the replacement shoes or a refund. The shopkeeper sometimes answers my calls but keeps saying “next week you will get your shoes” and keeps delaying it.

I don’t have a receipt from the shop, but I do have UPI payment proof, courier proof showing the shoes were delivered, and chat messages with the shopkeeper about the exchange.

I also know the exact location of the shop in Karol Bagh.

Since I’m not in Delhi right now, I cannot go to the shop in person. What should I do in this situation?
