With the Optimize Charging setting turned on, the Mac will only charge to 80% to preserve battery life. This takes into account your normal usage of the battery and will charge to the full 100% when needed depending on your usage or you can charge it to the full 100% at any time.
You can find the location at: > System Settings > Battery, and then the info button under Battery Health.

It appears your Mac is plugged in most of the time, so that is why it is only charging to 80%.
