I charge to 100% overnight, every night. Been doing it with every phone
I've ever owned. So far I've changed phones before I had any noticeable
problems.

My current phone, a Galaxy S10+, turns 5 years old in a few weeks. So
far no noticeable problems...

However I did make one modification with my current phone. I bought a
wireless phone charger that came with a 10 watt power supply. I then
replaced it with a 3.5 watt power supply. My theory was that the slower
charging would create less phone heat and since I was in no hurry
(overnight) the longer charging time wasn't a problem.

But then I've always been a light phone user so as always YMMV...
