Macbook charging with USB-C not magsafe

My 2021 MBP M1Max is connected to an Apple Studio Display with USB-C and a 140w Apple power supply with Magsafe cable - the MBP is prioritizing the USB-C over the Magsafe and honestly the battery never gets to 100% and the magesafe connector light is perpetually orange <grin!>. Is there a way to prioritize the MagSafe over teh USB-C without disconnecting the monitor?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6

Beginning with macOS 10.15, macOS is now using Battery Health Management which will exercise the battery. This means sometimes the battery will charge to 80% and hold there for a while. This is normal behavior regardless of whether USB-C or Magsafe charging is used.
