The battery health management software (BHM) can put on hold your charging this is the new normal.
It interpolates your usage pattern and learns as it goes, and can hold it at 92% 84% 72% etc. however it deems best.
Click the battery icon in the upper right if you need 100% charge for portability (or Option click)
"When battery health management is turned on, your battery's maximum charging capacity might be limited. Although the feature is designed to improve your battery's lifespan, the limited maximum capacity might update your battery status menu to indicate a need for service. Your Mac calculates when to recommend service for your battery based on battery health management being continuously enabled."
