Stop trying to micro manage the power/charging system. The MacOS manages these systems very well. Plug in the computer when convenient to do so. Leaving the computer plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery.
It's ideal to use your Mac till 20% and then start charging until it reaches 80%. This is optimal range to increase your battery life!
There is nothing to be gained by completely depleting a modern, lithium based battery. Repeatedly doing so, may cause permanent damage to the battery.

The best advice is if you can connect to AC power do so, and if you cannot, run on battery.
