Battery Question about Charging

I use a type C cord to connect my Macbook pro to an external monitor for work and it is also used as the charger, I work around 8 to 9 hours daily and the battery remains at 100% because it is plugged to the external monitor, is that okay? Will it damage my macbook pro or the battery?

Neither the computer nor the battery will be damaged by leaving it plugged in. Plug it in when needed or when convenient to do so. Leaving it plugged in reduces the rate of accumulation of battery cycles. The MacOS manages the power/charging system very well. There is no need for you to micromanage the system.
