What are good battery charging habits? Can I charge my iPhone at any time without reducing battery life? Can I leave the iPhone charging overnight without shortening battery life or damaging the battery?

You can charge your phone anytime. You can leave it plugged in to charge overnight, every night. In fact that is what you should do, with Optimized Battery Charging turned on. You have accept that Battery Health decline is normal and not linear. No matter what you do, the health of your battery will decline with every full cycle charge.
