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

The above is extracted from this Apple article --> About Charge Limit and Optimised Battery Charging on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)

Hello,

What you are mentioning is the same issue I reported here:

(Charge limit failing to stop battery char… - Apple Community)

If your phone is powered off, the limit will not work

I am facing the exact same thing you are, and understand the frustration.

Thanks
