Didn’t you get the battery replaced under Apple program some years ago, I think it was 2019? I got a brand new battery for free.

They replaced it with another defective battery that only lasted ~28 cycles before it expanded. Apple refuses to do anything about it.

Edit: Screenshot I submitted to Apple.

I had the exact same experience, and ended up replacing the battery myself. Not a difficult job, but extremely tedious.

I would replace the battery if that was the only part affected. Unfortunately when it expanded just like the last time it bends/warps the top case and keyboard, the metal around the trackpad and the bottom case. I can't just replace the battery and leave everything else bent/warped, the laptop won't sit level, the screen will not close completely. It's really not a cheap or easy task. Not to mention the risk involved in removing a battery that is expanded and could rupture.
