Recently got my new M2 air. On Sunday i used it and closed it without shutting it down, then i forgot about it for 4 days until today (Thursday). I opened it and expected the apple logo, but it went straight to the Lock Screen indicating it’d been on all that time. It was on 43%. I shut it down today, but will this mean my MacBooks battery will be impacted/ does it cause any damage to the device. Really worried as it was expensive and i want to keep it in perfect shape.

When you're closing lid your Mac is going into standby mode. It's perfectly fine, you don't need to turn it off completely with every time. MacOS is doing also some maintenance while sleeping.
