Get used to this! When I sold my 2015 Prius, it had 83k miles on it and the brakes were had only worn down 40% (still a good 60% left).2022 Hybrid 109k miles and the brakes still have alot of life left. Just amazing!
I was getting my tires rotated at Discount Tires and I asked permission to go in there and check my brakes while the wheels were off.

One thing to be mindful of is corrosion on the rotors. Prius and other hybrids have had reports of unused disks getting aggressive rust causing deep pitting of the surface and rotor replacement sooner than normal. The recommendation is that you do one or two hard stops to engage the mechanical brakes once a day to knock of surface rust.2022 Hybrid 109k miles and the brakes still have alot of life left.
