Although 200 is an approximate stated figure, it really comes down to how you treat the batteries. Excessive heat and/or cold may shorten their life as can a crash even if there is no external evidence of the crash. Continually flattening the batteries will also shorten their life.
If you use a battery just make sure that if it is left  between 40% to 60% which is the storage level. If it is a bit higher than that it won't matter for the short term but don't leave them sitting around with a low charge.

my experience with tb48 is that the full charge capacity drops about 40mah every recharge. If this trend continues I am sure you will a useful life of 200 charges. When the capacity drops to less than 60%, your battery is carrying dead weight and your flight time drops to probably half.

This is a good summary of Lithium batteries and their life.

When I went to drone school our instructor said that Li batteries generally last ~300 cycles when used in quadcopters. Not sure if this applies to DJI ones too.
