See megous' comment a couple of posts before for an explanation. And yes, a maximum limit can be set and is set already on many distros (what is displayed in the battery indicator as 100% may not be the real 100% capacity the battery has). Check out the PostmarketOS tweaks app for a GUI to change that (not only available on PostmarketOS).
PostmarketOS tweaks battery limit setting does not work in Debian. The setting change returns to 4.20V after opening PostmarketOS tweaks again.

What you are describing is the normal float charge pattern, to hold the phone near 100%
Some of the distributions are adding apps that allow the user to easily adjust their own charging patterns.
I don't think This is harming my battery, ...

PostmarketOS tweaks in mobian offers changing the maximum charge level. It is not functioning. The setting change returns to 90% 4.20V after opening PostmarketOS tweaks again.
