My battery has had weird fluctuating design capacity readings and then suddenly the wear level on it went flying up to 18.8%. To be clear I’ve owned this laptop for only one month and half to 2 months, from everything I’ve read most people don’t even have a 18.8% wear level on their battery after owning a laptop for 2 years, unless maybe battery wear level is different specifically for gaming laptops.

Are you gaming with charger on ? If so, small charges for short periods usually make battery appear to have less capacity, Let it deplete until reserve and slow charge without using laptop. See if APP has reset option.
