iPhone 17 ignores charging limit after 27.2 update

My phone has been continuously ignoring my charging limit (95%) since 27.2 update.

I know that it charges to 100% OCCASIONALLY, I’ve read that part. Before updating, I only experience this once in a while then my next charge would be back to the limit.

But now, ever since I updated, I already charged 6-7 times. And I SWEAR my phone ignored the limit all the time. I know it because the second time it happened, I already found it weird so I monitored it.

I always charge when my phone is 20-25%, I never let it below 20.

Troubleshooting I tried and still nothing happens:

changing back to 100% limit, restart phone, set it back to 95%.
changed limit to 90%, still got ignored
turning off optimized charging

I’m using iphone 17 base, 27.2 version

Ignore that charge limit 80%, 90% nonsense hype

Turn on Optimised Charging
Charge every night all night to 100%
Start the day full, with no adverse effect on battery longevity.

one bug i experienced too was whenever i open the camera, it would freeze and i cant do anything. even closing and opening the app again. but it got fixed after i restarted my phone.

unlike this charging limit issue, it never got fixed..

Why worry about a pointless unreliable feature ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if you’re not experiencing any issues with your current version, i think it’s best to wait.

i hope my problem gets solved next update tho
