Modern iPhones are equipped with a feature to automatically stop charging once fully charged. Charging your iPhone overnight doesn't affect the battery's health, but it's not recommended to do this too often as it may slightly impact the device's performance.

Every 500 charging cycles, the device's battery gradually degrades. One charging cycle is not equivalent to one plug-in. Disconnecting the charger before the iPhone is fully charged doesn't affect the battery's lifespan. Therefore, charging your iPhone whenever necessary won't compromise the battery's quality.
3.3 How Many Charging Cycles Degrade an iPhone Battery?
As mentioned earlier, the lifespan of an iPhone battery depends on its charging cycles. One charging cycle is considered from 0 to 100%. If your phone's battery is at 40%, and you charge it to 100%, it doesn't count as one cycle. The next charge, adding another 40% to the previous 60%, counts as one cycle. After 500 cycles, the device's battery will degrade gradually.
