Can I manually/programmatically put the battery charging on hold? I have a 2016 MBP and due to my work-from-home setup I need to use an external monitor for working, which force the Mac to use the discrete graphic card and thus a faster battery drainage (together with other software).
Given the advertised feature that should put the battery charging on hold at 80%, the last weekend I have updated the OS from 10.14 to 11.1, but that feature doesn't seems to work as expected: even if enabled (by default), it always charge up to 100%; sometime it happend to actually stop charging, but after a few seconds it ramped again up to 100% automatically.
My question is, is there a way to force that behavior ? I've looked at pmset's man-page, but I haven't seen anything related.
Thanks in advance!
Here's a tool that I've seen recommended by others:

It can limit your charging to specific percentages. However, I've not used it myself.
