Omg everyone on here is wrong - you have your phone set to optimize battery life and that means not fully charging until close to when you normally disconnect it. This makes the battery last longer. Turn off “optimize battery life” and it’ll charge fully every time.

Optimized charging stops at 80%, then charges to 100% by the time you wake up. Mine stops at 50% and stays there some nights and other nights I wake up and it is at 100%

It usually stop at 80% and the percentage doesn't drop while the phone is still plug in. It seems weird to me that OP's phone hadn't even reach 50% yet

yes, if you plan on keeping your phone for years and years, it’s optimal to not charge beyond 60 to 70% because charging to 100% every time wears the battery out faster

but if you’re one of those people that buys a new phone every year then I guess it doesn’t matter

And also a new battery is like $70 so it’s really not a big deal either way
