Laptop folks reading this - check your bios settings. My recent Dell (and I'm sure other brands are similar) has options for this. It has a "usually plugged in" setting, but I manually chose to limit charging to 80%, which is an option in the same place.

Obv if this is bad for your use case, don't do it.
