We live in a 24/7 world that has taken “work from home” to a whole new meaning and yet, Google seems to think we all live, work and sleep the same hours. At the very least, it looks like its pixel phones with the same adaptive charging. It probably needs to change.
Adaptive charging came around the December feature drop, allowing the Pixel 4 phone or newer phone to charge slowly when someone is asleep and then top-up just before the alarm goes off. While batteries run out quickly when kept close to 100% for long periods of time, this policy is designed to help save their useful lives and has been instilled in many other phones.
But, according to the information previously suggested by our adversary friends, the publication of the name 9to5 runs on Google, on a Google set schedule. According to the feature’s help article on the Pixel Phone Help pages:
When you charge your phone after 9pm, with an active alarm for 5-10am, your phone uses adaptive charging. Otherwise, your phone charges normally.
Of course, not everyone has such a cement schedule – Third Watch workers, shift cover and those who need to travel early, we feel you – and it’s a shame that Google hasn’t made a manual exception for that. Cheats like programming or even tying up a Google Assistant with a bedtime request.

This is worse when the policy is not clearly visible on the settings page.
Therefore, if you are careful and careful about how you tax your consumer, but wake up at 5 o’clock instead of 5 o’clock in the morning, adaptive charging will not accept you.
