Optimized Battery will charge your phone to 100%.



Right, once overnight is ending. It only optimizes overnight, with the battery limited the vast majority but not right at the end.

I don't see the conflict.


It doesn’t work if I plug my phone in at 9am in the morning. It will charge my phone to 100% immediately in that case. Even if I leave it connected to power all day. Breaking my battery.

Optimized charging is based on learning and thus unpredictable and hard to influence. It only works if you have rigid habits.


The article says it only works in that situation, not that being in that situation is a guarantee of it working. I think the phrasing is fine. Do you disagree?

Like, if I say my car only starts when it has gas, I'm not promising it always starts as long as it has gas.

It's far from a comprehensive list of things that break the feature, but it gets the point across that the existing feature does a fraction of the job at best.


No, it works any time of the day. It just depends on your charging habits. And it also depends on your location, if you’re away from your primary location, it still charges to 100% when plugged in during your normal charging times.


The article says it only "kicks in" at certain times.

If your argument is that it "works" all the time even when it's not affecting charging, therefore the article is wrong, you are splitting hairs in the worst possible way. And if you're not arguing the article is wrong you might need to reread the comment thread.
