Use while charging

Does using Macbook pro 13 2021 while charging cause a battery problem? battery health badly affected? I would be very happy if experienced friends who use external screen can provide information.

What happens when charging and using MacBook at the same time? So I have a question, What happens when you charge your MacBook while using it? I know that when only on battery, especially when doing heavy tasks, the battery drains quicker and can also overheat that can damage it and lower the battery health quicker. So, when I use it on power does the battery work at all? Does the power it gets first go to the battery and then from the battery to the Mac so it can work or it goes directly to the Mac so the battery isn't being used and is not overheated? Also, I saw that when battery is more than 93% it says it's not charging. Is this what I'm talking about?

Optimized battery charging not working so it always fully charging as 100% How I can fix this issue? I tired turn off Optimized battery charging set and plug out of Studio Display c-type cable and restart MacBook and turn on the setting and plug in cable but still doesn't work. I also checked privacy& security-Location services-system services but doesn't work. what should I do for it?

Use it how you wish. Leaving it plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery.

I am using an external display.

So I have to keep the screen off, do you mind if I use it that way?

You can leave the computer plugged in whenever needed or when convenient to do so. Leaving it plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery.
