Thank fuck. Anyone who ever thinks it should be "off" or "automatic" with no option for "always on" should be shot. Automatic is fine for a default, but let people force it on or off, and let them pick the limits (within reason).

If I could limit my phones that are plugged in 24/7 to 60% I'd be so happy. If Apple is beating you in user choice then you've done something horrendously wrong.

is it so you can leave a phone plugged in forever without the battery ballooning?

It may still balloon limited to 80%, but it's far FAR less likely.

Lithium ion batteries are happiest at about 40% charged so if you're storing them that's about where you'd want to change them to. 100% charged isn't very good for them, and 0% is VERY bad for them.

Oh yes please... I'm currently using a hardware limiter.

We at least have adaptive charging already, but having this option without needing an alarm set would be wonderful

As a sometimes Pixel user, I was jealous when iPhone 15 had an 80 percent charge limit option.

I really hope Graphene gets this functionality soon too!

Similar to the "turn off adaptive charging this time" notification there should be a "turn off charging limit this time" too.
