    I have a 3-year-old Samsung. Most of the time I keep it between 30 and 80%, with the occasional full charge about once a month. It has always had fast charging disabled in settings.

    AccuBattery shows the health at 88%, and the battery life is noticeably worse than it was initially. I used to get two days of light usage between 80 and 30, but now it barely lasts one. With GPS and camera usage, that lasts about half a day.

    In comparison, my previous phone, a OnePlus with no charging limit and always charged on its fast charger, also reached 85% after just under 4 years.

    So, I don’t think it has been worth intentionally crippling my battery life with this phone.
