My MBP M1, OS 12.3.1 has the feature of Optimized Battery Charging since I acquired it in Dec. 2020.
It worked very well charging the battery to max 80%, as required.
Since upgrading to OS 12.3.1 abt two weeks ago, it is charging the battery to full 100%, notwithstanding the fact that the relevant preference is ticked for Optimized Charging, as in attached pic.
Is there a cure for that, please?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3
Any single specific battery may last longer or shorter. But Apple has determined that this new pattern of partially charging when always plugged in, averaged over thousands of batteries, leads to, on average, the battery lasting longer.
Don't be alarmed if you see changes to the pattern. My laptops have been staying around 80% but if I reboot, apply an update, or use the laptop without the charger connected, that changes things, you may see it back at 100% for a while, or even lower than 80% for a while. Some of this is intentional, Apple wants to battery to be "exercised" from time to time and will do that if the user isn't.
After watching this intently for a while, I have stopped paying much attention to it and am focusing on other things ... you should probably do the same.
There is nothing that you need to do. Your battery has optimized charging enabled.

Pls see attachments of my situation.
Where should I change?
Tks
Update for whatever it's worth: After leaving my MBP (14" 2021 MBP, OS 12.2) plugged in continually for ~2 weeks, the battery has dropped to 80% charge and holding:
My M1 MBA Monterey 12.3.1 performs the Optimized Battery as expected.
Had this machine since March 2021
Thank you.
What do you mean by " performs the Optimized Battery as expected"?
Tops how many %?
Mine was max 80% from Dec 2020 until two weeks ago.
There was no change in my working routine.
Got it!
Thank you so much.
Enjoy Easter!

How can I revert to that situation?
Just wait. It learns from your usage. If you never take it off AC, it will probably revert to the previous behaviour soon enough.

Should I disconnect from adaptor, use to, say, 25%, then replug and look at the results?
Only if you want to further delay the process.
Thank you all for your time and patience.
Thank you. I tried that some weeks ago. Did not work out for me, Un fact I gage up on that matter. Life is too short.
.
The end of Optimized Battery Charging?
