Due to the risk of battery fires, Google said that devices with more than 400 charge cycles could see their capacity and charging speed drastically reduced.
Apparently they design phones that’ll last just over a year before self-igniting.
Does 400 charge cycles really amount to just over a year of use for most people? I’m assuming one cycle means a full power cycle, not just a top up.
For reference (and I understand it’s a bit apples to oranges) I’ve had my iPhone 15 since Dec 2023 and charge it every night and it’s currently showing 125 charge cycles.
Why would they make it worse

More then 400 charge cycles? So like… All of them
Becsuse that’s what Google does now. They make things worse. They got bored of making things good.
To force you to change your battery (which is free), otherwise you will blame Google when it explodes after you ignored the warnings.
More accurately, to attempt to avoid a battery fire for people who can’t or won’t replace the defective batteries.
