Optimized Charging v the 80 percent limit

I've received some conflicting advice. Some say it's okay to charge to 100 percent, others say stop at 80 to preserve the maximum battery lifespan. Is it better to use Optimized Charging and let the phone charge as high as it will allow or use the 80 percent limit?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

How to manually limit iphone SE 3rd Gen to 80% charge? Saw an old post that recommended turning off Optimized Charging, did so; phone continued to charge to 86% before I took it off charger. I use the phone sporadically, so I doubt the Optimize algorithm will best preserve battery life since it charges to !00% every time I leave it unattended.
