I use 80% limiter. 80% gets me through my normal weekdays, I usually end up with ~40% in the evening. Charging the battery to 100% daily has exactly 0 benefit, except wearing down the battery.
I disable the 80% limiter on the weekends, where I'm more likely to need the extra 20% (plus the capacity not lost through the excessive wear).
Not to be rude but your (any) situation isn't relevant. The joke is that this is all rather performative when the lifetime of the device isn't as long as it could be
Burn that battery. That's what it's there for, the OS or carrier whims like baseband will probably expire first. If it survives for use off the charger, you've won.
There, we've now gone the gamut. A person made a joke, someone repeated it, first person used an LLM to explain it, another person provided the actual source... and now I'm here ruining it further!
I'll buy a new/cheaper/dumber phone before I lean further into this ecosystem or feel anxiety over it. They want disposable, it'll be disposable.

I don't replace my phone every 6/12 months and I don't really want to replace the battery so frequently either, mainly because of the hassle.
I've noticed that some people get really insecure/defensive about this question, and have this urge to prove that optimizing your battery usage can't be worth it.
But isn't it plain obvious that it's a trade-off which can come out differently based on your subjective priorities?
