Currently I set my battery charge limit to 80% during the week since I’m often at a charger, but I set it to optimized for the weekend.

I’m wondering if I could automate that somehow. Using shortcuts or focus modes maybe? I’m not very familiar with either of them. Just looking for something automated or easier since I often forget to change the setting.

Thanks

My experience with Shorcut battery automations is that it’s not 100% reliable. Sometimes the automation fails for no apparent reason and it doesn’t happen. Maybe 10% of the time.

That is weird. Thanks though

This is a great question, honestly one of the reasons I going to am upgrade to a 16 pro from a 13 pro is the battery limiter in settings.
