I have a M2 MacBook Air which normally charges just fine. However last night I put it on charge after it had gone to scheduled sleep. This morning I find it is still charging. Screenshot of battery app is attached. Running Ventura 13.4 on a 8GB/512GB laptop.
MacBook Air, macOS 13.4
For additional reading on Battery and Apple Computers this link may help. 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
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%

Ah many thanks that's good to know.
