keep charging my MacBook Pro while using?

How can I keep charging while using, because I'm having battery issues, even after it got replaced. It wants to optimize my battery and won't charge while I'm using. Help!

Do have the option from the BATT icon in the upper right menu bar...(?)

The battery health management software (BHM) can put on hold your charging this is the new normal.

It interpolates your usage pattern, 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




As stated—"because I'm having battery issues,"
