This kind of a setting, that works this way, suggests that the laptop hardware simply provides the means of controlling whether the battery is being charged, …or not. Charging is software controlled. Obviously this means that appropriate software needs to be running, in order to control it. Presumably, Gnome will be using this setting when it's running. When you're not running Gnome, it logically follows that it will not work. It will charge on AC power, while plugged in, up to the maximum. On the other hand there are laptops whose charging behavior is controlled via BIOS. This would be the case, for example, with my Framework 13 laptop, which has a BIOS setting for a maximum charging level, and a few other tweaks. I happen to be running the XFCE spin on this one, and it works as advertisied, and would work with any desktop. The charging level that's shown by the battery widget hover around the preset level, plus/minus a percent. The laptop periodically cycles between charging and discharging mode, while on AC power, keeping the charge level at/near it's preset target.
