Not really, Optimized Battery Charging works best when you have it on the charger for the same extended period of time daily, which in most cases is overnight, as it learns from your habits. Otherwise it may not activate all the time if your charging habits are variable. But if you do consider Optimized Battery Charging, you should charge overnight. Not to mention that to activate Optimized Battery Charging, it needs to be charged 9 times for 5 hours or more, so if you don't do that overnight you'll have to find time to do that which may never happen.
