A new feature dropped in the December 2024 security update for Android 15.

To help extend the lifespan of your Pixel’s battery, you can limit charging of your phone to 80%. Once I updated to the December 2024 security release my Pixel 8a notified me that this new feature was available but you can also set it up manually.

A similar feature used to automatically limit charging under certain conditions, for example when a Pixel phone was continuously charging for more than a few hours under high temperatures or when continuously charging for more than several days.

This is a new feature however which you can control in settings.
