Normal battery wear is 10-20% per year from the date of battery manufacture, not from the laptop purchase date. So 15% wear seems reasonable. Please post a battery report by following steps below for further confirmation.

(1) Search 'cmd' in Windows start menu.

(2) Right click command prompt near top of menu.
(3) Click run as administrator.
(4) Enter 'powercfg /batteryreport' at command prompt.
(5) Then return to the desktop. Open file explorer.
(6) Then search for' battery-report.html' in the c:\windows\system32\ sub-folder. Double-click to open it in the browser.
(7) Post screenshot of the first part of the report if possible that compares design full charge capacity with its remaining full charge capacity

Your battery level wear depends on how you treat your battery and how much you use your battery, my AN515-56 is about 6 months old approx. and my HWMonitor is at 6% wear level but. I hardly use this laptop on battery alone but continually unplug the charger to let the battery discharge and then recharge so that it maintains its cycles and the battery stays in good shape as its shown below, as that is what you should have if you mainly use your laptop plugged into mains power.

Looks like normal battery wear to me for a laptop mfd on or before last August. I'd guess the battery had been sitting on the shelf unused  for quite some time before it was actually installed in the laptop at the factory. So it's likely well over a year old and well within the range of expected wear even if it was still sitting on a shelf unused.
