**Background** - 2017 13" Macbook Pro w/ AppleCare - purchased new in 2017 - had intermittent charging issues - would not see charger and drain rapidly - could never reproduce for Apple to diagnose - late 2020 AppleCare was due to expire and original battery failed and was replaced **Current Issue** Fast forward to now - had the charging issue return and I get this: enter image description here I should get 1000 cycles from this and now: enter image description here Barely a year out and under 100 cycles and it's dead again. Tried these: - Called Apple (surprise - you are SOL) - SMC / VRAM etc. - List item - Battery calibration trick (https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/434969/new-battery-the-batterys-capacity-is-significantly-reduced) - Deleting the power management plists etc. This is MacOS 12.1 BTW. I had planned to continue to use this computer for years - it has lots of RAM and I never have issues with it. When I got the new battery under AppleCare I figured I had a 'new' laptop that would add years to it's life. Now I have a boat anchor I can't sell. The battery is part of the entire top case / keyboard (thanks Apple 🤦‍♂️) and the costs is half the value of the unit now. **Questions** 1. Can you ever guilt Apple to honour a goodwill repair etc? 2. Can you reset this message
