never worked for me with the 11PM my 13PM or the new 14PM .. but…. it *sometimes* works for my mother using my old 11PM.. so i guess it just depends how regularly your schedule of charging is.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 14 Pro How long does it take optimized charging to start working on new phone?

Just started working for me last night. Held at 80% until 5am and then charged to full. Will monitor it throughout the week to see if it's consistent.
It’s been nearly a month and mine hasn’t kicked in on 14 Pro yet. Was working fine on the 13 Pro Max…
Optimized charging worked on my 12 pro. Once I got my 14 pro it never started. I was away on a trip when I got my new phone but I’ve been home around 4 days and still not working. Hopefully it will start soon.
Got mine on launch day and it just started working. After being away a day here and there it worked the 15th consecutive day sleeping at home.
I wish mine will start working. If not I guess I’ll call apple support to see if they know how I can fix this. Got it at launch as well.
I redline my car several times a day, it’s good for the overall health of the motor. Some call it the Italian tuneup.
Is it still true that we need to have significant locations turned on for this to work?
Nope. I have Significant Locations turned off and Optimized Battery works for me. Bonus is it works when I'm traveling and not just at home since I almost always just charge overnight.
Looks like implementing their own version isn’t even needed with 14 pro. I’ve noticed the past few nights it will charge to 50, hold there for hours before charging to 80 quickly before optimized charging kicks in. Maybe this is Cupertino’s way of improving battery life? I don’t recall my 12pro doing this. It’s still charging to 100 sooner than i would like but maybe it will better learn my schedule after a couple more weeks.

You would think with sleep focus + alarms, there's pretty much reference for this optimise thing to follow?
Apple: No, let's following something else like locations + whatever crap logic
Update: I had to turn the feature off and then on again; it started working the next night
Had it since Sep19, and to this day, the optimized charging still doesn't work.
I've tried toggling it on/off, but still no luck, I even cleared the significant location as I thought that might be the issue.
Do you charge it every night? I only charge my phone over night every two days, so I'm not sure if that's the issue(not a heavy phone user and usually have about 40% left before I plug it in the second day.).
Everytime it just goes straight up to 100% and stays there for a couple of hours.
