Optimized battery charging issue solved ( MBP 2020, macOS Ventura )

I've fixed the issue of optimized battery charging feature and now it is working.

It looks like so called learning algorithm can not track the charging status if you connect the charger before you start the computer.

Here are the steps you need to do to fix the issue.

Turn off the optimized battery charging feature (Uncheck the "optimised battery charging" option in the battery settings ) ( this is necessary to make a fresh start )
Unplug the power cable
Restart the computer
After the restart turn on optimized battery charging
And then plug your charging cable

These steps helped me to resolve the issue instantly.

Original orientations from @kivanc48 (first post) worked for me. Thank you

Macbook M1 MAX

6 days plugged via usb-c (I use two monitors as charger via usb-c, not the magsafe adapter), and the battery was at 100% and in green state.

Steps I followed:

activated sleep mode
unplugged the monitors (not using magsafe charger here)
used the computer for 5 mins
shutdown
start
login
plugged the first monitor (waited image appears)
plugged the second monitor (waited image appears)
closed the lid (do not need it as I am using external displays)
1 minute later my mac activated the paused state battery (optimized charging)

I see you trust apple quite a bit, do you trust their official documentation too? There is where you can read all about how good optimized battery charging is. Also it is not working.

I mostly do trust Apple but this case is different. I believe some problems arise when you want to use some common codebase with other Apple devices ( in this case it is between macOS and iOS )

Your solution works but once the computer is turned off it has to be done again and again. Has anyone found a permanent solution to the charging issue that continues on into Sonoma 2024?
