Hello
The low power mode actually serves to extend the usage time. This statement is either illogical or Apple no longer knows anything about phones. Cite your sources so we can at least check them.
A Windows problem prevented iPhones from displaying the remaining usage time for a while, make the latest Windows update.
When the battery charge of the latest iPhones drops to 20%, the low power mode should be systematically activated to gain extra minutes of usage, it lowers the brightness, and background tasks slow down. By temporarily disabling email reception, background app refresh, automatic downloads, or iCloud backup: the latter function can disrupt the user, that’s only what Apple has reported.
I tried going into the control panel to change the power settings and also disable the battery saver below 10%, but it didn't work:
I don't understand why Windows would allow the lithium battery level to drop so low, it's risking damaging them:
Poor user behavior. A lithium battery should never drop too low, as that’s when it can be permanently damaged. That’s why the iPhone shuts down or goes to sleep well before reaching 0% charge.
The battery charge may stop after half an hour of
charging. A manipulation can restart it for another half hour of charge.
The charge may stop at 80%: see Apple’s explanations. For me, it's a somewhat unintuitive operation, but it’s designed to protect the battery due to too many uncertified or damaged accessories.

I’ve read a lot of nonsense, but this is top-tier! No, completely discharging a battery (whether lithium or not) does not run the risk of "wrecking" it. Indeed, lithium batteries are not supposed to have the 'memory effect' problem. For those who are unaware, traditional batteries lose their ability to fully charge and consequently their autonomy if they are frequently recharged before they are completely discharged. Therefore, they need to be left to discharge during use until the last drop of energy. In theory, this is not the case for lithium batteries. Ideally, the battery should be allowed to discharge completely, but since we like to have our phones functional all the time, few people let it get to that point. What risks damaging the battery is leaving it discharged for several weeks without recharging it. In that case, there is indeed a risk that it simply won't charge anymore. (I've experienced this with digital camera batteries left too long in a cabinet and in the device, which means the battery discharges very slowly and ends up not being rechargeable anymore; it’s annoying to have to buy new batteries). But letting it discharge completely is not a problem; in fact, it’s rather positive if one takes the time to recharge it without waiting too long. What shocks me is that Apple does not allow users to keep their expensive smartphones in battery saver mode all the time, and that when we recharge, this mode deactivates at 80 or 85%. And this is solely because useless features (purely commercial for Apple, like ads and other "graphical performance" gimmicks that the user doesn't even see) don’t work in power-saving mode. At one time, we were encouraged to save energy that pollutes the planet so much... that’s scandalous!
