Does anyone know of a FOSS app that can limit charging on Pixel devices? I imagine it would require root, which is fine for my usage.

I'm using one called "Healthy Battery Charging", but it only gives you notifications and you have to manually plug and unplug the device.

I use a slow charger. The trickle charge means it doesn't sit as long

there is ACCA on f-droid. it can automate charging upper and lower thresholds, make your phone run from cable instead of the battery (and no charging) if yours supports it, limit charging speed, temperature, and can also do schedule based rules by time

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it seems the Pixel/GrapheneOS kernels don't support limiting the battery charge limits :/ I tried ACCA, and it installed the ACC magisk module, but the device kept exceeding the charge limits.

check the setting about which ways it tries to disable charging, one of them should work.

also, unfortunately ACCA has not been maintained for a while now, but the underlying acc has got some improvements (and also got incompatible with the lastversion of ACCA). so at the end you may try out acc without the ACCA app, but be aware that it involves editing a text configuration file.
if you check the acc project's readme on github, you can also find troubleshooting steps to common problems

They added the charge limit feature to Pixels officially in the latest update. Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization
Assuming you have a new enough device running the stock OS.

I'm running GrapheneOS, and they unfortunately do not have that implemented yet.
