So I have a couple month old OnePlus N30 phone, and one thing that drives me crazy with it is when I plug it in at night to charge, eventually it fully charges. You would think this is good, but then it decides to vibrate every 30 seconds or minute or so to tell me it's fully charged. Over and over again till it wakes me up and I unplug it. So far it's still mostly charged by the next morning but this is ridiculous - aren't you supposed to charge the phone overnight?

I tried just turning off the notification but the phone is using the system UI to notify and won't let me turn it off.

Does anyone know how to stop this?

Can't answer the rest of your question because I don't use a one plus but:

aren't you supposed to charge the phone overnight?

No, you aren't "supposed" to charge your phone overnight. Leaving your phone on the charger at 100% is actually pretty bad for long term battery health. Hence why the notification exists in the first place. Modern phones also full charge in like an hour, so this leaves your phone in that state for many hours.

The longer story is it's actually best to stop charging your phone at 80 percent unless you really need the extra juice, because any time your phone spends above that is potentially damaging, but that tends to be hard to deal with for most people.

Most of the phones I've seen with this feature have a "battery warning" or "charge notification" or "protect battery" type setting somewhere you can turn off. But again, I've never used a one plus so Idk if they do or where it is.

Sane manufacturers just stop the flow of power to the battery when it's fully charged. This notification is intrusive and annoying.

The notification itself is super helpful if you care about battery health. There are apps that try to do it if your phone doesn't have one, but they aren't nearly as well integrated into the system and are therefore more clunky.

The insane/annoying part is just that the setting is not opt-in. Or whether there's a setting to turn it off.
