How many charge cycles does my Macbook Air have?

That’s a great question! Most Apple laptops have lithium ion batteries, which generally have a charge cycle count of around 300-500 charge cycles.  The batteries are designed to last for about five years, though this will vary a bit based on how heavily you use it.

I heard it's 1000 charging cycles

I'm not sure where you heard this.  The "best practices" guide for Macs, written by Apple, states that the lithium ion batteries that come with MacBook Air are expected to last approximately 5 years with typical use.  Charging to 50% capacity every couple of days is recommended, and the battery should last an average of 500 charge cycles.   However, it's certainly possible to get the battery to have 1000 charge cycles, though it may only last for a few months.  As with most things that have a relatively short lifespan, it may be a good idea to have the battery replaced after 5 years or so.

That link has nothing to do with Battery life. Also, Apple told me that my Macbook Air has 1000 charging cycles.
