Depends on how you have you Battery settings in System Preferences. If you have "Optimize battery charging" enabled and you use you Mac mostly on the charger, it could drop to below 80% before it starts to charge, unless you chose 'Charge now".


If you have Optimize charging disabled, it should start charging immediately until it reaches 100%.
