Apple's Optimized Battery Charging (OBC) is designed to reduce battery wear and improve battery lifespan by learning your daily charging routine. The behavior you're noticing, where it charges to 100% and then drains back to 80%, is part of how OBC works. The system might charge to 100% in the morning in anticipation of potential usage away from the charger. If your MacBook Pro consistently stays plugged in, the OBC might not be fully optimized for your use case.
A cycle count increase by 10 in a week seems unusual, especially if you're mostly using it while plugged in. A cycle count is equivalent to using 100% of your battery's capacity, but it doesn't have to be used all at once. It might be worth checking with Apple Support to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
