Unable to turn on Optimized Charge Limit on my Apple Watch

Can't seem to engage Optimized Charge Limit function on my watch. I've selected the function in Settings, but charge continues to go to 100%. I'd like it to stop at 80%. Is there some secret that I'm missing to get this to work?

Optimised changing does not prevent a device from reaching 100% but monitors the charge so that is will occur when it can predict that it will be connected to the charger for an extended period - overnight for example.

...your watch delays charging past 80% in certain situations. In these situations, the watch's battery level remains between 75% and 80%. Your watch uses on-device machine learning to learn your daily charging routine so that Optimized Battery Charging activates only when your watch predicts it will be connected to a charger for an extended period of time.
