The A1708 should be covered under the free Apple Battery Replacement Program within 5 years from purchase date.

Only when the scenarios is
Apple has determined that, in a limited number of 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) units, a component may fail causing the built-in battery to expand.

Mine expanded last year. Total replaced is 2k. Lucky got apple care
