My iPhone 14 won't charge beyond 81% after iOS 18.0.1 update

I recently update to iOS 18.0.1 on my iPhone 14. Since the update, optimized battery charging isn't working - my phone won't charge beyond 81%. I've tried different charger cords, etc. It seems to be a bug in iOS 18? The phone is usually 30-40% when I plug it in at night, and the optimized battery charging banner states it will finish charging around 5 am. This is no different than before the upgrade, but now the phone doesn't charge to 100%. I've also tried restarting phone. Maximum capacity of batter is 84%. Any idea what is going on and how to fix it, other than turning off optimized battery charging (which I shouldn't have to do. Thanks!

If Optimized Battery Charging doesn't activate

Optimized charging is designed to engage only in locations where you spend the most time, such as your home and place of work. The feature doesn't engage when your usage habits are more variable, such as when you travel. Because of this, some location settings must be enabled for Optimized Battery Charging to activate.* None of the location information used for this feature is sent to Apple.

Follow these steps:

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and turn on Location Services.
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services and turn on System Customization.
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations and turn on Significant Locations.

Unplug and plug it again after a few seconds.

Thanks for your reply. I had already checked all these items and they are all set properly. I haven't had this issue historically only after upgrade to iOS 18

This doesn't make a difference - I have already done this in the past. The problem has been going on daily since upgrade to iOS 18
