Just plug it in when it is convenient to do so. It is literally that simple. There is nothing we can do to improve upon recent Mac hardware and their macOS battery charging algorithms that manage batteries.

Most if not all of that information is either outdated, irrelevant, was never accurate to begin with, or is based upon nothing but rumor and mythology. Read the Apple Support documtents.

I've been using MacBooks since 2016 (and desktop Macs prior to that) and have always left them plugged in to power 90% of the time no ill effects. Apple's battery health management works extremely well.
