The two link below may provide some insights to the users question and worth the time to explore the information.
About battery health management in Mac notebooks and especially for the M1 / M2 and Big Sur & Monterey and Ventura If battery charging is paused or on hold on your Mac
Depending on the Age of the computer, some aspects from the above links, may or may not apply to your computer.
A feature introduced into Big Sur & Monterey and Ventura was to preserve the number of Full Battery Cycles - there was an Algorithm coded into the macOS. It is perfectly Normal for Big Sur , Monterey, Ventura to Pause / Suspend charging the battery beyond 80% and hold it at that level. One can nudge / over-ride this by clicking the Battery Icon on Desktop Top Bar and allow charging beyond 80%. From observations, it will Pause / Suspend again once reading 90%. Same procedure to over-ride and will charge to 100%
