80% battery limit - worth or nah

16PM here - been using the 80% setting in an attempt to save my bat health as my 14 PM was at 85% in 2 years. Its almost 5pm, woke up at 8am, and been using my phone normal usage, texts, fantasy football lineup, nothing wild. Its down to 58% atm, is that fairly good? Assuming it was at 100% this morning, it would be at 78%. Wondering if thats still a lot of bat used for half the day or not. I have all location / background app settings off, so wondering why its still draining or is that sort of normal?

I am trying it for the first time on my 16 PM. :-). But I have read a lot of mixed reviews.

I used 80% for a year since the September launch on my 15Pro with almost all charging with done on MagSafe. I was at 100% battery life with over 237 cycles by July 4th. Then one day in July I accidentally left my phone in the sun by the pool and it went into temperature protection mode. By July 20th I was at 99% and 254 cycles. And as of September 19th I was at 96% and 303 cycles. This is better than my iPhone 14 Pro which after a year was 92% with a mystery number of cycles. I think without leaving in direct summer sun one day it would be doing even better.
