I’ve had my AW 9 since launch. Have all the location services needed turned on. Reset. Restored. Setup from scratch. No matter what I do the optimised battery limit/charge never kicks in.

I go to bed the same time every night. Pop it on charge and it goes to 100%. Never holds off like my AW6 used to.

Am I missing a cheeky setting somewhere?

Popular locations is on and it works fine on my phone.
 
It could be you use it enough that the algorithm determines the watch needs a full charge. Mine fluctuates between optimized and full charging depending on how active I am. Do you have optimized charging turned on in the watch settings though? It’s found at settings/battery/battery health

There have been several threads with users reporting that it is not working.
For me, I turned the charge limit of 80% on on my Ultra 2 after I got it but I didn't like it as it limited my usage pattern, so turned it off. and the charging to 80% and then completing to 100% later, doesn't seem to be working either anymore.
But, I do have AC+ and plan to keep that for the life of the U2 so I'm not worried about battery health.

check this to ensure your have all location settings correct:
