I have the 16 Pro Max that's always plugged in, so I had no idea how good the battery life was. Went to the office a few days ago and forgot the charger at home and was planning on asking people if they got a spare charger. Finished the working day on 25%. That's more than enough for me.

If it is plugged in most of the time you might want to consider "AlDente".

Not required on modern Mac. Have not used it and compared my battery health to those who have and my health is better with more cycles.

Optimised battery charging never correctly figures out my habits which are very random, so I use Al Dente.

MacOS has a built in 80% limiter for Macs that stay plugged in a lot. There is even a menu bar option to trigger a charge to 100% before needing to leave.

Yeah but it that one doesn’t always trigger for me, and it does stay plugged in a lot.

I check mine periodically and it seems to work all the time. Are you on the latest MacOS and patch level?
