Watch Ultra2 not using optimized charging

I noticed since upgrading to Watch OS 11 I never see an open charging ring from the optimized charging feature. when I was using OS 10 I noticed it almost every day when charging in nightstand mode. I haven't seen it once since the update. Optimized charging is enabled. I restated the watch and reviewed the location setting to see if anything looked off. Any one else noticing this behavior?

See this to see if the charging limit has been turned off. Optimized charge limit is something else then optimized charging


Turning off Optimized Charge Limit can increase wear on your battery and reduce its lifespan. 

To turn off Optimized Charge Limit on Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Watch Ultra and later:

  1. Open the Settings app on your watch.
  2. Scroll down, then tap Battery.
  3. Tap Battery Health.
  4. Turn off Optimized Charge Limit.
  5. Choose Turn Off Until Tomorrow or Turn Off.
