If you charge the phone over night all night (assuming you have a normal work life pattern) then the phone will learn your sleep patterns and will complete the last 20% just before you wake.

If you have irregular sleep patterns then turn off optimized charging in Settings, Battery. to ensure 100% every time.


Generally speaking if you use more than one full charge a day then charge it whenever you want during the day but put it on charge overnight whatever the charge remaining.


Battery health is only affected by the number of full cycles, the design being for a minimum of 500 cycles before it needs replacing at 80% health


Some people say don't let it go below 20% charge but I say avoid running it to zero but if you accidentally do that put it on charge immediately.
