Unfortunately, Apple doesn't share their Optimized Battery Charging algorithms so it is impossible to say. This is all we get -My Question is: is 5 hours of daily charging on a regular schedule enough to let it engage Optimized Battery Charing after 14 days?
Thanks mate. But that is not my question:Unfortunately, Apple doesn't share their Optimized Battery Charging algorithms so it is impossible to say. This is all we get -

Use the battery status menu to resume charging if you need to have your Mac fully charged sooner.support.apple.com
It's difficult to know because OBC comes in two forms in macOS. The first is what many people seem to want which is for the charging to stop at 80% when they are plugged in. As far as I can tell, that only happens when you've remained plugged in for several days (maybe weeks.) The second form is more subtle. If the system can determine your schedule the charging system will charge up to 80% and then stop until your schedule shows that you are going to take it off the charger soon. At that time, it will continue charging to 100% and be ready in time for all-day use.Are there any people that got Optimized Battery Charging working with 5 hours or less of daily charging...?

I see the second form happen frequently but given my current use I don't see the first at all though on my M1 I did since I was mostly just plugged in. Now I'm on battery for most of the day and charge either overnight where I might see the 80%, stop, then continue type of OBC or I charge when my battery runs down at work in which case I don't get any form of optimized charging.

I’m guessing you do but as I said, I don’t use my M3 MacBook Air on the charger that way since updating to Sonoma. Someone else might know for sure.Many thanks!!
In Sonoma, do you still get the message: "Charging On Hold (Rarely Used On Battery)...?
