When will the optimized macbook pro 14 m1 charging start working?
I'm working with an external monitor, plugged in all the time. The charge shows 100%. When will the system start limiting the charge to 80%? After all, the macbook is always plugged in. Or what's the right way to discharge once every week or two, so that the battery doesn't fail quickly?
For now, I plan to discharge the macbook to 20% once a week. Thanks.

If you turned it on; it's working. It just takes time, couple of weeks maybe, to learn your charging and use habits.
Once that learning is finished, the battery will continues to be optimized every time you charge it. Being on or off the "mains" has no effect.
It took almost 2 months for Apple's optimized charging to work. The outlet icon appeared.
Took several days for me on both my Intel and M1 Pro 16" MBPs, but once it started it has kept to 80% that unless I run on battery for a couple of days.
So I have to work on the battery to decrease the charge and when I start working on the mains again, the charge should not rise above 80%?
So far, 2 working days external monitor + laptop on a permanent network. I'll wait then until it adapts )
