You’re saying your HP envy got better battery life than your M1 MacBook Air? I highly, highly doubt that.

Yeah, out of all complaints one could have made about M1, this one seems like the strangest one. Not M1 Air, but I once used my M1 Max MBP for virtual onsite interviews. It was about 4 hours of videocalls on Google Meet + code editing using coderpad or something similar + i had a bunch of personal/unrelated tabs (50+) in chrome on another virtual desktop + 1hr break where i was reviewing my notes and such. Did it all fully on battery, no plugging in. After all was said and done, my laptop charge dropped from around 95% to 71%. No overheating, fans never kicked in either.

I was synchronizing iCloud and importing mail it took very long and that process was using the most amount energy. Since I was using my Envy for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word, with Edge and Chrome open, I didn't expect the Macbook to shutdown, since it has great battery life. (According to some people) I don't care to be honest, but I hate it when I things turn out differently for me and I have this experience a lot and the things we do, shows this too. (benchmarking, but differently than the majority of people) Edit: I forgot to say, I don't hate Apple or the Macbook at all. it's the notebook that's first on my list, when I suggest a good model.
