This is normal and expected behavior. Apple notes this in several support articles.

>>If you have Charge Limit set to less than 100 percent, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.<<

The iPhone has to do this so it can calibrate to 100% battery capacity. It’s normal.
