Chargie can probably solve that problem, since it's an external hardware limiter. And for those running GrapheneOS, it's probably the only option available until they get around to adding that 80% charging feature.
- That won't work either, it needs a Bluetooth connection to know the phone's charge which means the phone needs to be on.
  
  From what I read, you can set it up using Bluetooth, and then even use it for other devices like earbud cases, preprogrammed to know when to cut it off. I actually just got one, and just haven't used it yet. I'll give it a try and report back.
  
  I went over the FAQs and it looks like it measure current and know how much energy has passed through but I wonder how it handles if you plug in the device at a different initial charge.
- I own 4 of them. I've never gotten the hardware limiter function to work. Spent too much time trying. It's basic charge limiting functions are hit or miss too. I've woken up SO many times to a 100% charged battery. I don't get responses to emails. The app is updated a lot. I really wanted these to work, but now that Graphene had the 80% feature, these will be forgotten in a drawer for a few years, then go to the trash. Good luck. Hope yours works out.
- Latest GrapheneOS comes with the 80% limit.
