My Macs have been doing that since forever when battery enters <= 5%. The machine crawls to a slow grind, and the battery suddenly lasts forever. Its just not communicated to the user.
Also, according to [1] (linked to from source), some features require the Neural Engine of M1 so are not available on Intel Macs.
