How often should I charge an iPhone ?

So let's say after a week my phone is at 40% still, the phone is powered on (standby) and haven't been charged for a week, is it okay to not charge an iphone for a week long or so ? Is this going to damage the battery if I don't charge it for long time but leaving it on ?

iPhone 12, iOS 15
