Hi guys,
I would like to know for how long can my MacBook Pro 2017 be attached to the power (100% charge) without affecting the battery's overall health? I am usually discharging it to 50% and charge it up back to 100%.
Any tips on that? I don't mind keeping it on the charger throughout the day. I also know that it will be better to keep it on battery at night when I'm not using it.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 4 TBT3), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

There is no time limit. You can keep it plugged in as long as you wish.

Once in a while, let the charge level drop below 50% and fully charge it back.
Apple doesn't officially validate this practice.
