Also charging it fully but I don't know how important that one is.

Just as important. And most phones these days have a setting to prevent it from charging to 100%. E.g. I set mine to stop at 90%.

I run grapheneos which doesn't have that. I think if I get a smart plug I could use an automation in Home Assistant to turn the charger off.

Very important. Keep it between 20-80 is a good idea. I differs between different battery chemistries though.

For lithium batteries (phone batteries) it's actually more important than draining to 0. Many studies indicate that the average phone battery should last several thousand cycles while only losing 5-10% of total capacity provided it is never charged above 80%. Minimum % (even down to 0%) and charge rate below 70% is also unrestricted.

The tl;dr is that everytime you charge to 100% is the same as 50-100 charges to 80%. Draining a lithium chemistry battery to 0 isn't an issue as long as you don't leave it in a discharged state (immediately charging).
