laptop "charging on hold" and about to leave the house

Love the fact that Big Sur very visibly puts "charging on hold" for the batter of my Macbook Pro (which is basically always plugged in - here or there).


Suppose I'm about to head for the airport and want the battery to charge to 100% for the flight ahead. How do I tell Big Sur to do this on a one-off basis? (i.e. to revert to partial charging when next plugged in)

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.0
