what are some ways to mark my brass each time it is reloaded? I tried doing a search before asking but no good results

I run brass in lots of 100 and don't clean or process them until the whole batch is ready to go. Once I've processed the whole lot I mark inside the ammo box with a piece of masking tape and a sharpie 1x or 2x or 13x or whatever.
I do all of my prep work at once, so once all of my casings are fired I clean, resize, trim.chamfer, and prime. That way all I have to do is throw powder and seat bullets. I keep all my prepped brass in one container and then after it's fired I move it to another container. once fired through all of it I repeat. I don't keep track of how many total firings they have necessarily, but I anneal every third firing.
Devils advocate: does it matter how many times a piece of brass is fired?
After the brass is fully prepped and is fired twice out of the chamber why does it matter if it’s on firing 5 or 35? I keep track the first couple of firings to make sure the brass is well “seasoned” but after that into a large bin it goes.
This is assuming you anneal/trim/chamfer every firing and it originated from the same lot #
