I highly recommend AccuBattery for Android. I have been using it for a few years now and I saw a noticeable difference on my Pixel 3a XL compared to use on previous smart phones. I now have a Pixel 6 and its nearly 2-years old and the battery lasts well beyond 30-hrs with combined use.

My previous phone was an iPhone XS and its battery was also completely fine for 2 years. Year 5, I definitely noticed a drop in battery life. If you're planning on keeping your phone for 5+ years, definitely do the 80% thing. If you're on a 2 year upgrade cycle, it probably doesn't matter.
