I thought the way battery optimization was supposed to work was that it would get to 80 percent and stop, and would only go on to 100 percent after learning your schedule, or every 24 hours, or whatever. Mine has never stopped at 80 percent, neither has it refused to charge if I plug it in when it already is over 80 percent. I have always just figured that battery optimization just didn't work on the cheap phones, for whatever reason. I am not quite sure what is going on. Although I wouldn't want to leave my phone connected to power for days, I have always been a little skeptical about its being all that bad to leave it connected for hours. After all, it backs itself up while connected and the screen locked.

Well Apple says it's better if your phone doesn't just sit there at 100 percent all the time. the battery optimization is designed to keep this from happening. Lets say you go to sleep every night at 10:30 and plug your phone in and you wake up at 5:30. Your phone might reach 80 percent around 12:30. Then it will stop until around 4:45 or so where it will resume charging in order to be at 100 by the time you wake up. If you use your phone more than usual and put it on the charger early, it would then charge all the way because the new schedule isn't recognized. so according to Apple, it's better if you don't keep your phone plugged in all the time. It would put your battery under unnecessary stress and could make your battery health degrade a little quicker. On 12/27/2022 8:29 PM, M.
