I feel like the elephant in the room is that there's no phone battery that's going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition. I've tried, several times. Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.

i charge my phone to only 70% and my previous phone (pixel 2xl) after about 5 years of usage had still about 95% of capacity I'm using Accu battery app for alerting when my battery is charged and chargie dongle to cut power when I want to just plug phone for night

At least on my Pixel 7, it doesn't actually charge it all the way if I plug it in at night. It will charge until 80%, then very slowly over the course of the night until my first alarm (of many, I'm a heavy sleeper lol) it'll get itself to 100%.

Phones these days take good care of their own batteries, 100% doesn't actually mean 100%, same with 0% since both are extremely bad for Li-ion batteries.
