# Why Does My Phone Pause Charging at 80%?

My phone charges normally until it reaches about 80%, then the percentage barely moves for a while. I’ve checked the battery settings and turned off the scheduled charging option, but it still happens with more than one charger.

Could this be a temperature limit, a battery-protection feature, or a problem with the charging cable or adapter? I’m curious whether the pause is expected behavior or a sign that the battery needs attention. The phone is a couple of years old, but it doesn’t get unusually hot.
