Seems that bclm no longer works

I had to start using it because macOS insisted on keeping my battery charged to 100% no matter what I did, and that can damage the battery.

Edit: Seems like its also broken on 14.7 now, battery went straight to 100%.

Doesn’t optimised charging ensure it’s not always at 100% natively?

Additionally, AlDente is even better than the native battery management.

When I first got my M1 mac, optimized charging worked OK. Eventually it would settle at 80%. But since macOS 14.6-15.0, it's always charging to 100% and staying there no matter what.

Luckily, I gave 'battery toolkit' a try, and it has been working great:
