> It's ludicrous to me that the default behavior is plugging in your phone to a 30W ludicrously fast charger when you go to bed in the evening, where it then climbs to 100% charge and holds there while you sleep.

The Pixel line has adaptive charging, which is active when you have an alarm set, and times the phone to be fully charged by the time the alarm goes off. It's unfortunate this does not seem to be a default behavior for stock Android.

I've had Pixel phones for a while now and I just thought that was a standard Android thing.

It took me a while to learn that I should set a one-shot alarm before I put my phone on the charger.

This feature was not very discoverable, so I also wonder how much unnecessary wear and tear I put on my phone from having rapid charges at bed time before I discovered how to summon the adaptive charge cycle.
