Is it better to let lithium batteries stay plugged in or constant 80/20 cycle (lemmy.world)

I am doing research on best practices for my lithium batteries and lifepo4 powerstation. There's some conflicting opinions and variation for cycle numbers.

Will leaving my things plugged in at 100% hurt it more than constantly unplugging at 80% and replugging at 20%?

Similar situation here, except I do 90/30 and my charge speed is limited to 1.8W (I usually boost it to ~10W when I'm in a hurry)

My phone battery still holds its capacity like new, whilst my partner is practically tethered to a charger all the time, with a device newer than mine
