Honestly setting the charge limit should just be built into macos. Since it's possible, I have no idea why they don't offer that. I find their "machine learned charge limit" or whatever it is to be almost useless because most of the time it just charges to 100% anyway. The built-in feature seems to be very specifically for if you charge overnight and have a regular wake up schedule, it will hold at 80% until a few hours before you wake up and then still go to 100% anyway.
It is on my MacBook Air. It sits closed on my desk with an external display, plugged in 24/7 and sits at 80%, every now and then it charges to 100%, or discharges back to 80%.
It was like that when I bought it in July last year. Seems to be a current MacOS feature.
