Is it harmful for my iphone battery to charge it multiple times a day

I was thinking, to maintain a good battery health, to charge it to 80%. I was thinking to get it to 80 before going to bed, to 80 before i leave for school and if the battery lasts, redo the whole thing next day. Would it be harmful for my battery?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

The absolute best way to get maximum use on a charge, as well as slow the decline of battery capacity long term is to enable Optimized Battery Charging (Settings/Battery/Battery Health) and charge the device overnight, every night. The battery will fast charge to 80%, then pause. During the nighttime pause the phone will use mains power instead of battery power, allowing the battery to “rest”, and thus reducing the need to charge the battery quite as often. The phone will resume charging to reach 100% when you are ready to use your phone; it will “learn” your usage pattern. If you enable iCloud Backup (Settings/[your name]/iCloud - iCloud Backup) the phone will back up overnight also, assuring that you can never lose more than the current day’s updates.
