Don't worry about leaving it plugged in, just set the max charge to something like 60%.
Yeah, I love that this sort of thing is an option now. I do 80% on my ebike and 90% on my phone. Hopefully that will prolong the life of two of most frequently used gadgets.
Wasn't a thing originally, they added it later. But it's habit, I never leave lithium battery devices plugged in. I have a laptop from 2011 that still holds over 90 percent storage.
