Apple Watch 9 v10.5 - Charging to 80% DESPITE Optimized Charging being turned off.

Optimized charging is not on, but watch is only charging to 80% showing an “open ring” that I need to tap to finish charging? I’m in the other room waiting f/ my phone to notify me that my watch finished charging but it doesn’t like it usually does, so I go and check it and there’s this open ring. I click yes to finish charging. I check the setting, it’s turned off.


what the heck? How do I stop this from happening?

In case you did and it still does show the open circle, restart the watch:
