As I trade in phones, and buy them to use them (they aren't family heirlooms, I use 100% of what I paid for. if it drops to 80% eventually, then I get 80% of the battery. No point in using 80% from the get go. Staying at 100% constantly is the issue. I think the charge limits were added more due to consumer (on forums/reddit anyway) behaviour than a real need.

100% and I charge it whenever I want. I don't get the idea of limiting charging to anything under 100%. You buy a new phone and set it to an 80% limit, so it kind of makes it perform like a 4-year-old phone, no? My day one 13 Pro was at 86% battery health a month ago.

Although, I stopped using wireless chargers because USB-C is so much quicker, convenient, and it doesn't make the phone hot.

Unless I’m staying at home, the battery on the 16PM doesn’t last long enough for anything other than a full charge to 100%. I’ve been really disappointed with it.
