    🤨🧐that is a bit strange, I mean, it should stop at 80% if it is optimized charging… For me, it looks more like an issue in the power supply. Is it a USB-C Power delivery plug? Which power distribution (volts and ampere) does it support, and are all going up to 3A? Is it the first time you charge with that charger / did it happen before?

    Or it did something in the background (foto analysis/ othe machine learning stuff) that used as much watts as it got from the charger 🤔

      Agreed, also possibly heat-related cut off; e.g. from putting phone under pillow, using wireless charging, or leaving in direct sunlight.

        Yea, I added magnets to my iPhone X for magSafe charging, and it does sometimes stop charging for a while because of overheating as well, you are right, I forgot that

      BattSafePro does this, though idk why anyone would set a power cutoff that low, rec is 80% or 90%. I guess OP did it for the lols?

    Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging and turn off Optimized Battery Charging.

      If optimized charging was the culprit, it should show a pause symbol on the graph. The issue is likely related to heat or a bug, but I would recommend leaving optimized charging enabled for long term battery health.

        You can turn off clean charging and just limit charging to 80%. At least on 17.4.

        Also I wonder if clean energy charging is causing this.

    Both my iPhone and MacBook Pro do this kind of thing sometimes, though not quite to this degree. I don’t see this happen on non-Apple gear
