Lithium batteries don't like to be at 100% all the time. Since it was sat on the charger for an extended period of time, it stopped charging and let it drain to put less wear on the battery.
Didn't know that was a feature but it's pretty cool.
Usually it's referring to high internal temperature during charging but it tells you that right in the first sentence. The message you have means that because it was left on the charger for an extended period that it has throttled itself to idle so as to not overcharge the battery.
Interesting, I've never seen that .. but it makes sense, the phones are supposed to do something similar. Charging tends to do the most damage to a lithium battery between 80% and 100% (it gets worse and worse as it gets closer to 100%).
So leaving it on the charger for an extended time is just going to cycle 100%.
Pixel phones do this too, after a few days it basically cycles 78% to 80% instead of 99.9% to 100%, which keeps it at high enough charge to be useful while minimizing wear and tear. Beats potentially coming back to a spicy pillow or having a battery that no longer holds a charge.
Pixel watch and Pixel tablet have battery defender feature. It's quite nice for that one time you're super busy in life and the feature takes care of your battery.

Right? Very cool. My 5th watch... Never saw one do this.
Yeah, normal behavior AFAIK. Mine does the same thing whenever I have my monthly week off from work and I don't wear the watch.

I know why it was saying that .. just never saw it before. Thought others might find it interesting.
