lmgtfy: Its the extremes (0% and 100%) that degrades LiIon the quickest, if you want the longest life ideally you'd keep it 30-70% the whole time, ymmv (and also thresholds).

And it is a pity manufacturers don't support you in doing stop-charging-at-x if you wanted, e.g. a simple thing for software to do, but impossible without rooting on Android.

ASUS Zenphone has a setting that lets you set a charging limit at 80, 90, or 100%.

Samsung S22 Ultra (at least) has a 'Protect Battery' setting which limits charge to 85% .

Its been a feature since at least the S9. Source: Had to 'fix' my girlfriend's phone only charging to 85%. Was a mystery how that setting got randomly enabled, really.

I can't recall for certain if my old S7 had that option but I don't think it did.

You're mistaken. Most Androids today have that charge limit function natively.
