Is there a convenient way of doing this? There is no way I can always babysit my device and wait for it to reach 80% and then remove it from the charger.
I use home assistant to manage this for me. I have a zwave plug for my phone charger, and when home assistant notices that my phone is at 75% or greater it turns off the plug. It will turn it back on when my phone drops below 65%.
I've actually been thinking about doing this, though I think it would be even better if there was a smart USB socket that could adjust the power output on the fly. For example, you could program a custom charging curve to have full speed charging until 50%, 10 Watts until your desired battery level. For now I guess the smart switch idea is better than nothing
I do the same at 78% on the slowest charger I can find to charge overnight.
I go months without ever charging above 80%. I have to remember to let it drop below 15% and fully charge every once in a while to recalibrate.
I use an app called accubattery and it has an alarm that goes of at 8œ percent then every 5 percent beyond that.

If your phone is rooted, AccA is a great option.
