AMD Ryzen 5 7520U
Hi, I accidentally left my laptop charging causing it to be charged overnight - twice! Will it bring damage to the battery and the laptop itself?
I really am worried. Thank you.

It shouldn't cause any harm.
When the battery is fully charged the charger stops charging the battery.
Did you notice that the charger was cool to the touch?
If the charger was charging the battery, it would have been warm.
You can test this out the next time you charge the battery.
I don't recommend leaving the battery connected to the charger 23/7/365 because that leaves the battery in a constant 100% charge state which may lead to battery swelling.
