iPhone 15 charging optimization limit exceeds 80%

I have my iPhone 15 charging optimization set to 80% limit. Today, I take my iPhone off the charger and the battery level reads 86%. Does anybody know why this would occur, and what could be done to prevent this from happening again? Thanks in advance for your response.

From the Apple article:


About 80% Limit with iPhone 15 models


With iPhone 15 models, you can choose between Optimized Battery Charging, 80% Limit, and None.

When you choose 80% Limit, your iPhone will charge up to about 80 percent and then stop charging. If the battery charge level gets down to 75 percent, charging will resume until your battery charge level reaches about 80 percent again.

With 80% Limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.


This implies that it is around 80% not necessarily exactly 80% so it may still be working as intended. You could report it to Apple if you think it is a bug and not functioning correctly though
