While not ideal, maybe we could have more trickle chargers? My worry is that the battery actually gets used often but for short periods and that could effect long-term wear.
Personally, I have a Shortcut to put my phone into "low power mode" once it hits 90% (why not?).
Maybe a Shortcut could do the same and turn off power once it hits 80% on your overnight charging dock and then use a small amount of power while the screen is off.

Isn't low power mode for when your phone has very little battery left? I don't understand why one would put a phone in low power mode when it's charging and hits 90%.
That's the original intent, but there's nothing stopping you from enabling it whenever to try to get the absolute max possible out of your battery. Low power mode does sacrifice quite a bit of functionality by default though.
Personally, my 15 pro can do >72 hours on a single charge WITHOUT doing stuff like this, even starting at 80% (note: mostly standby, no always on display, with ~3h screen on time total). The 80% limit is definitely something I'll be using virtually all the time.
Oh sure, I put my phone in LPM sometimes when I know it's going to be a very long day. But why would someone put it in LPM when it hits 90%? Is that referring to when it charges up to 90%, or when it's in use, unplugged, and is "down to 90%"?
On the other hand, I’ve pretty much stopped using LPM after getting a 14 Pro and getting used to the higher refresh rate of the ProMotion display; I find the slower refresh rate really jarring (I also have a non-Pro 14 which I don’t like using for the same reason).
