i have never seen optimized charging working on my iPhone SE-1.
Here is a case in point. What happened to my battery between midnight and 7:50?
Also isn’t the activity supposed to reset after the battery is charged to 100%?
Am I missing something or is this a software bug?
The phone was not connected to power before midnight, and it shut down when the battery state of charge reached 0%. It was subsequently connected to power, and it charged while the phone was off. When it was turned on around 7 AM it’s clear that it had been charging overnight because it came on at 100%.
This is not related to optimized charging, which requires that the phone not be in a shutdown state for it to show on the bar graph.

Thanks for your reply.
one more question: how long does it take for optimized charging to become active?
As I said, I have never seen it work on my phone.
I have seen other people post graphs where the charge stays at 80% overnight, but not on my phone.
What am I missing?
It should charge to 80%, then complete the charge to 100% later to align with your normal usage of the phone. It tries to find out when you first start using the phone in the morning and adjusts the final charge from 80% to 100% so it will be fully charged when you are ready to use it. But if you use it during the night that algorithm fails, so it will simply charge to 100% rather than pause at 80%. If you have any power-intensive background processes that run sometime during the night that can also defeat optimized charging.
how can I find out which power intensive processes happen at night?
Background activities are set to off for most of my apps.
I wish there were a way to manually tell my iPhone when to start completIng the charge to 100%
Also, would setting the phone into power save mode cut out those power intensive processes?

Look for sync processes that only use Wi-Fi, so they will not sync when the phone is asleep or out of range of Wi-Fi. Check the battery usage in the evening, noting the highest users of energy, then check again in the morning for the difference. You can tap on any app in Settings/Battery to see what energy was used in foreground and background.
this morning upon disconnecting the phone from the charger, for the first time ever I have seen the notification that “Optimized Charging has been enabled”
Last night I enabled the Low Power Mode before charging the iPhone for the night. Was that the trigger?
Regards
Optimize Battery charging keeps the device from charging beyond 80%.
