This is always tricky! Your battery was made in June 2020 as such it is only four years old. But it does have over 500 cycles so it’s at the halfway point of 1,000 cycles which Apple claims is the highest expected you could achieve with reasonable use still.
So you could replace the battery, but I don’t think that is what I would focus in on yet. I would first review what are your needs both what’s running on the system could be stealing power needlessly and/or look at getting an external battery pack to give you added run time as it’s easier than replacing the battery.
* Review your running processes using Activity Monitor for applications that are consuming too much power or not needed any more.
* Look at USB-C power banks to give you more power when on the road.
