Both factors lead to two possible outcomes that need to be differentiated very clearly to prevent misunderstanding, confusion or worse. Battery usage practices:

*When the user recharges the battery to a lower percentage frequently ''(only charging to 100% when necessary)''. Results in better battery health compared to always charging ~~to 100%~~.

*When the user recharges the battery to a lower percentage frequently ''(only charging to 100% when necessary)''. Results in better battery health compared to always fully charging.

*The manufacturer blocked part of the available capacity ''after'' certain amount of charging cycles. Meaning that after the user has degraded a certain amount of the battery the manufacturer artificially limits it's capabilities by removing a second portion of the battery ~~leading~~ the remaining ~~portion~~ available to degrade faster.

*The manufacturer blocked part of the available capacity ''after'' a certain amount of charging cycles. Meaning that after the user has degraded a certain amount of the battery the manufacturer artificially limits it's capabilities by further removing a second portion of the battery. Leaving the remaining amount available to degrade faster than normal.
