Same issue- just running 14th cycle so far.
Had a chat with the support staff. He cross checked the System Information Window and said, report is false.
Even though, it said 100% capacity, the condition is "Service Recommended".
I logged a feedback.

Anyway, battery monitor is showing 98% capacity!

This leaves me undecided if I should leave the beta program!

Same Problem here. But after reading all your reports, I can at least cancel my appointment at the genius bar...

I'm talking about a MacBook Pro 13" 2019 Baseline with 47 cycles on the battery.

Same here. MacBook Pro 16" from July 2020. It's definitely a Big Sur bug.

If you power off your computer and start it up while pressing "Command + Option + P + R", it will reset the PRAM and solve the issue. my MacBook Pro 16" has only 40 cycles and saying 98% now... but at-least its not saying service recommended.

Pheww.. Just updated my new Macbook pro 15 inch 2017 to Big Sur, and had the same issue. Battery cycle count is 5 and battery health capacity shows 100%. Warranty till this year end.

Pls tell me its a Beta bug and nothing else 😅🙏🏼

  • * edited response;

  • Thanks a lot Irfin ! I just did a PRAM reset and now it shows normal. ☺️

I have found this issue just today, my macbook pro 13 2019 baseline which is only 8 months old shows this error. This better be a bug. I am not ready to spend a fortune for something that shouldn't happen in the first place.
