Your Pixel can now run on wall outlet power alone

If the charging algorithm holds the phone at 100% it isn't good for the battery - hence why bypass power is a useful feature.
I've got a pixel 8 with bypass charging enabled and it only charges to 80%. I've started to leave the phone plugged in 24/7 except when I briefly pop out. When I return, I plug it straight back in.
 
What a completely pointless 'feature', why would anyone charge their phone to 80% or whatever then keep it plugged in a socket.

Surprised it wasn't Apple that came out with it and tried to claim it's some amazing new thing.

Apple's feature learns from your charging pattern so only charges to 80% then tops up to 100% before you need it. This obviously only works if you have rigid charging routine, i.e. overnight.
 
It's almost like some people have never heard of a hotspot or a tether?

It always amazes me with some of these topics how some people can't comprehend or allow for anyone doing anything different to how they do things and/or have different needs or use functions they don't, etc.

?? I work from home 8 till 7pm most days -- I could just leave it plugged in and not ever worry about it.
