> Get a semi-new Apple laptop and then let us know how terrible the power management is
So your solution to Apple's terrible power management is to give them even more of my money?
As I said, it did this since it was brand new. Battery cycles have nothing to do with it. It's a macOS or hardware problem in the SMC.
You should've returned it and gotten a new one. It sounds like a hardware issue. I've used a 2018 MacBook Air as my daily driver for a while (to cut down on weight for my bike commute) and never experienced the problem you described.
