Do most people not have the option to protect their battery already?

You have an older Pixel or just rooted, maybe? My 7 on the latest vanilla Android doesn't seem to have it, and this thread seems to say it's not available in the stock os.

Ah, I see. I was focused on the 80% limiter for that "Maximum" setting, which I think is not an option on Pixel. But I see now that "Adaptive Charging" sounds like it does what that middle setting "Adaptive" does.

And on iPhone the system expects you want your battery to charge over 80% on a daily basis. On a Samsung phone the system knows you don’t want to go past 80% at all, so it sets that as the new maximum.
