That may be the case with your already worn out battery. The fast
charger with 20 Watt recharges my Pixel from 20% to 80% in under 30 minutes.

I bought my Pixel 6 in May 2022, so I've been (adaptive and timed)
charging it to 100% for over 3 years now. Battery drain seems to be
acceptable, so far.

But to recharge it 80% I'd have to take a power bank with me at all
time. I've got one, an Anker Nano Power Bank (30W) and it's heavy. I
would have to buy a man-bag to put all my stuff (charger, powerbank,
keys, wallet, smartphone, reading glasses, ...).
 

But it can help you to keep a future phones or Li-batteries in general
at a healthy level for a much longer period of time. Most devices have
firmwares now, that allow to preprogram the charging cycles (Pixels with
Android 15 and up and iPhones 15 and up).

I'll see how far I'll get with my Pixel 6. Maybe wait until Pixel 10 is
released, depending on what it costs. If I do buy it I'll certainly give
the 80% charge a go.

I've been charging my Galaxy S10+ phone (that I'm making this post with) to
 100% for over 5 years now and so far no problems for my use. Luck of the
 draw I suppose...

My iPhone 14 claims to be at a SOH of 97% after 2 3/4 years of daily
usage. The performance of my Pixel 7 is also still top notch after 3 years.

My Pixel 6 seems to do OK after 3 years, but I just installed A16 and
don't yet know what it'll do to the battery.
