"Optimized battery charging" does not work

Hello! My 6 month old MacBook Pro (16-inch 2019) has its battery life down to 79 %. I rarely use it on battery. Both "Optimized battery charging" and "Manage battery longevity" options are checked, however the laptop keeps battery charged to 100% (rather than expected 80%) all the time.

Are there any other settings (not on the Battery System Properties) that control battery management? Thank you!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.4
