  Only the HP business - and perhaps some HP gaming - laptops have
support for limiting the battery charge to some 80%.

  Yours is probably a consumer line (Pavilion?) laptop, which do not
have this functionality.

  FYI, I have an HP Pavilion 15-eh2560nd laptop (with Windows 11) and
that one also does not have this functionality. I have my laptop on an
AC timer, to try to limit the impact of 'too high' charging.

  As Andy indicated, some brands - or some productlines of some brands -
have this functionality, while others have not.

  AFAIK, this functionality needs additional electronics in the laptop,
so it's not 'just' a question of software.
