Battery issue

I bought M1 Macbook Pro 13" around 1 and half month before. I was expecting 17 hours battery life but it gave approximately around 5-6 hours on text and wireless browsing. Is that normal or defect in battery?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

Real life is different then idealized/optimized published marketing...
