Next time you charge and your iPhone hits 80%, look and see if there is a "Charging on Hold" notification, which indicates charging has paused because your iPhone is too hot. It is a fact that your iPhone fast charges up to 80%, then deliberately slows down its charging to avoid overheating and ensure the iPhone's internals are safe. It can also happen if the iPhone is too cold.


If that happens, move it to a cooler (if overheating) environment, or warmer (if cold) environment, and turn off the device.
