Schedule B
I had my service A done in May of last year for my 2021 GLE 450. I had about 8K miles then and now I have about 15K miles. Does this mean I'm due for service B soon? I'm thinking of getting the service B done at the same time as the 48V battery software update recall.

This place is a joke.
There's no A/B service in the US market. Intervals are spaced at 10k/1yr since around 2010 or so. So your next service due is a 20k. I've previously posted the service chart from MBusa in a previous thread.

Just talked to the dealership and they said it's which ever sooner, 10K or 1YR.

Question: if there is no A/B service in the US market, why does this page refer to them?

How about this....posted on the same page you linked in regards to "express service" :
"Express Service is dedicated vehicle care in about 60 minutes or less*. With two diagnostic technicians working on your Mercedes-Benz"
Diagnostic technicians will NOT be working the express lanes....that position is typically reserved for noob "trainees"
Furthermore, the confusion continues:"and then approximately every 20,000 miles or 2 years after that - Service B includes:"
- Mercedes-Benz motor oil replacement
- Oil filter replacement
- Fluid level checks and corrections
- Tire inflation check and correction
- Cabin dust/combination filter replacement
- Brake component inspection
- Brake fluid exchange
- Reset maintenance counter
What a disaster MBUSA is!
Here is a link to a previous discussion where I posted the proper service sheets: Note there is NO mention of A/B services. That is an old, outdated system. MBUSA may have never updated their website from 2006!

The only difference between an A service and B service at my dealer is the changing of the cabin air filter...and about $300. They do not do a brake fluid change as part of the B service.

It's a Mystery why this is so hard for them.

People missed the "brake fluid exchange" on the B Service. My $tealership seemed surprised that both I knew about it, and actually didn't want the service deleted from the visit.

Ya brake fluid is important too especially how it is a safety maintenance, my local dealership refers it to the Service B + Additional work (brake fluid) for some odd reason especially when MB calls for every 2 years or every other service (hmmm or maybe it is due to that, for some reason someone might had it done during Service A and then Service B brake fluid don't need to be changed yet, probably not the reason and very unlikely anyways) basically.
