I have a new laptop that was complaining that I'd had it plugged in too long. Apparently there's a battery management setting that will have it charge to 80% max. I've used laptops exclusively for like 15 years and this is the first one to complain about being plugged in constantly.

My (work) Dell laptop charges from the usb-c dock, which it's always plugged into because so are my monitors and ethernet etc. As a result, it's always on charge.
