I enabled that new setting to limit charging to 80% and it’s worked well so far but every once in a while, I catch the phone charging to above 80%. Like right now, my phone is saying it’s at 85% despite the 80% limit being enabled. I confirmed in the settings it’s still enabled and didn’t somehow get disabled.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Mine is the iPhone 15 Pro 512GB

    With 80% Limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.

    From the “learn more” link on the settings page.

      Oh wow, TIL. Thank you for sharing that information and how you found it. Seeing how it will occasionally charge back up to 100% I may start using this feature as well.

      The reason I had not yet was from seeing how other devices were affected in the past. Usually just a hard cutoff at 80% and never charged above that. Eventually even if you tried, for those devices the battery couldn’t charge to 100% again after a while. Having the iPhone occasionally charge to 100% should resolve that.
