Can someone explain to me how Optimized Battery Charging works? I only use my Air Pods in the morning. Very early (6:00 AM) to call my Mom who lives in the US (I'm in Thailand), and later in the morning to listen to music. I never use them in the afternoon or evening.

But, when I get up in the morning the Air Pods and case are all at 80% and tell me that they will be fully charged at 1800.

How long do I have to wait before the Optimized Battery Charging algorithm learns that I only use my Air Pods in the morning and would like them to be fully charged when I get up?
 
I don't understand why AirPods need this feature. It's 7:39 here and I put my Airpods Pro on the charger about an hour ago and it said they would finish charging at 1:30 PM. Yeah, no.
 
1-2 weeks I think, but it's not great. See below...

They need to add the ability to set a daily time when you want them to be at 100%.

Mine are Optimised to be fully charged by 8am which is too late for me. This is because I arrive at work at 7am & probably don't plug them in until the next hour, but I want them to be at 100% when I leave my house, not when i'm about to plug them in because I don't charge them on the way to work, so they'll stay at 80% until I first use them...
