I’ve switched on the 80% charging limit, but my Iphone has charged to 100% for multiple times in a row now. I’ve read that this would be the case only occasionally, so is this normal?

Because my feeling is that the option to cap it at 80% was added to make people who like to micromanage their batteries feel like they're doing something. And because I'd much rather have my phone at 100% charge in the morning when I get up and not have to worry about charging it again for longer.
Batteries are consumables. If they die in 36 months rather than 34, is it really that much of a difference? Why inconvienence yourself to get just a small amount more life from the battery? It's like keeping the good dishes only for company you never have rather than enjoying them yourself.
Here is the fix. After your phone has discharged to around 70%, go into settings and turn off all battery charging optimisation. Then reboot your phone, then go back into settings and turn the 80% limit back on.
This worked for me.
Good luck!
I'd use the original Optimized battery charging if I were you. And don't try to micromange the battery.
