I have a 480GB M.2 Western Digital Green SSD about 4-5 months ago and it is already at 88% health status and I don't know if it is normal that it has gone down so fast or if there is a problem with the SSD or the motherboard.

If you could help me or guide me a little I would appreciate it since this had never happened to me and it is the first time and I am afraid that my PC will start to fail.

you could run this on drive to get a 2nd opinion - https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=279

my drive still shows as 100% after almost 2 years

You have almost 11GB/hr being written to the disk.
I don't know what's normal but I see 1.4GB/hr going to my disk.
Perhaps find out what's doing all the writing.
 
That drive has only a 3 year warranty.

I just spent a few minutes trying to find the TBW rating for it. I failed. WD does not publish it on its standard spec sheet.

That doesn't inspire me and I suspect the TBW is fairly low. So 88 percent may not be alarming at all........but you may be using the drive in some semi-unusual way that causes above average writing.

Hard to say without more info about your PC habits.

There literally can't be that much writing on the disk being that I'm barely using 140GB of 480GB and I'm not downloading games every day, moving files or anything like that, obviously I only play the games that I already have downloaded and I see how the % goes down more and more as if nothing.

Run your stuff for a week then look at GB/hr.
Did it go up/down/remained the same?
