Optimized battery charging does not stop charging your battery once it reaches 80%. Instead, it slows down the charging process, and tries to go by your past charging habits to time it reaching 100% as close to when you normally take it off the charger. So basically once it reaches 80%, it trickle charges slowly until it reaches 100%. This is how its always worked.
Now me personally, I keep my battery between 25% and 85%, because this does help prolong the life of your battery. But I do this myself, it is nothing the battery optimization does for me. My iPhone 11 Pro that I used until last week still had a battery life of 100% after 3 years of use. In regards to the Battery optimization, here is an article from Apple Support explaining it. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512 Hope this helps.
