Apple's new 80% battery limit feature should not be limited to the iPhone 15
That's true. I evaluated it, but it wasn't of use to me as I keep my Macbook plugged in with the lid closed.
I eventually tried this instead :
https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit
I use it to keep my battery level indicator pegged at 70%. Often doesn't persist after a system update, but it's just a quick terminal command to reapply the setting.
I use my Macbook in clamshell mode, and I use sleep mode when I'm not using it - receiving power from a Thunderbolt dock. It's handy to pick up exactly where I left off on resume. Plus, I use two LG screens where one of the two doesn't switch on after a cold boot, and it's annoying to unplug and replug to activate it. Sleep mode gets around that.

Patch iMac 2013 and use as 2nd Display
Target display mode was removed somewhere around macos high sierra. It’s just controlled by setting an smc key so you might be able to make a program set that smc key for you. The key itself is explained here https://floe.butterbrot.org/matrix/hacking/tdm/ and a similar approach to this for setting a limit on how much the battery charges could be used to set the key https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit

Battery life of suspended Acer Aspire laptop
I believe that the BIOS controls battery charging. There's an option to limit battery charging to 80%. I didn't find it in the BIOS but you can permanently set it in either - Acer Care Center under Windows or - https://github.com/frederik-h/acer-wmi-battery under Linux

Is there anyway to limit battery charge to around 80% to help protect battery strength in a laptop?
I think it may depend on the brand of your laptop. For Acer I found this https://github.com/frederik-h/acer-wmi-battery/ If you're using a System76 one or other brands you might look for it. Try googling wmi "laptop brand" battery health Linux, or something like that. That's how I found this one
