Once again that depends on how you understand the translation. For instance the Common English Bible (CEB) translation of Exodus 21:21:

21 But if the slave gets up after a day or two, the slave owner shouldn’t be punished because the slave is the owner’s property.


As to 100% to beat your slaves once again there is really nothing that points to that. It simply is establishing the laws of man. God is basically telling man if the slave dies then you (man) punish him, if the slave does not die then you (man) do not punish him,  because he has punished himself.


Nowhere does it mention that God says it is 100% fine to beat your slave,
