I have the MacBook as stated above. Its used daily. I'm now getting a battery condition service recommended warning. The number of battery cycles is only 270 well below the maximum cycle count of 1000 stated by Apple here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201585

Do you think I have a case with Apple to replace the battery.

So the 1000 cycles are only relevant if I never charge it and never use it. At the rate you say, it would be impossible to reach 1000 cycles.

The point is you have an expected 1000 cycle count, does not guarantee you will reach it.

Probably not. Do you have a case to get your car battery replaced free after it dies after 5 years? Batteries wear out, and lithium polymer batteries lose about 1% of charge capacity per month. Apple will replace certain batteries for some major shown defect, and if beforethe first year it drops below 80%.
