Google has confirmed that Pixel phones with the new 80% charge limit support bypass charging.
When 80% charge is detected, the battery stops charging, but current is still used to power the handset.
There isn’t a dedicated bypass charging toggle, so the phone will always charge to 80% before bypassing.
