Is it better to keep my MacBook Pro - with the M1 chip - plugged in all the time I'm using it, or to use the battery?

Let the operating system manage the computer and its charging system. I leave mine plugged in whenever convenient to do so. This means my computer is plugged in most of the time, except maybe when I'm at a coffee shop.
