This new ability, as spotted by Android Authority, allows supported Pixel phones to stop charging the battery when it hits 80%, but continue to use power from a plug to power the phone. At least, that’s what seems to be happening based on tests

You’re welcome

And only confirmed on pixel 8 but likely to work for the 8 and 9 series phones. I should know better than to have gotten excited for an update to my 6a.
