I recently set a charging limit on my iPhone, but when I left it plugged in, it stayed at 100% for about 10 minutes because the limit didn't take effect. I'm concerned that this might harm the battery since I've heard that keeping a phone plugged in at full charge can reduce battery health. Should I be worried about this?

Nope, no worries! Newer phones manage charging better, so you're in the clear!
Modern phones are designed smartly. Once they hit 100%, they trickle charge to keep the battery topped off without causing major issues. Sure, it's best to keep it between 30% and 80% for optimal health, but the difference is minimal. One incident like yours isn't going to make a huge impact.
Nah, you're fine! I've been charging my phone to 100% all day every day, and my battery health is still great. I've done this with every phone I’ve had and usually upgrade every few years without issues.
Definitely no problem here! If charging to 100% was really an issue, you'd see a lot more people concerned about it.
Seriously, don’t sweat it. The impact on your battery over its lifespan is tiny. Life’s too short to stress about battery percentages!
Yep, and if it was a big issue, so many more people would be complaining about it.
Exactly! Just enjoy your phone without worrying too much about the battery.
