i use my 7th gen, base model iPad while always plugged into house current, so it is almost always at 100% charge. Is this harmful to the battery?
I wish there was a way to limit the charge level. My Android phone has that capability. Other than that, my iPad is trouble free. Thanks in advance.

Your iPad will suffer no ill effects through being connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods. Your iPad will automatically regulate and optimise charging - and will not overcharge the battery.
When used in retail or kiosk applications - where external power is connected for extended periods of time - the iPad may automatically modify its charging strategy and limit battery charge to ~80% of maximum. This modified charging strategy is designed to reduce chemical ageing that might otherwise occur if 100% charge is maintained at all times.
Nominal 100% charging will be restored when a normal charge/discharge routine is restored.
