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".

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?
