It is actually better to use it unplugged frequently as this will extend the battery life. Batteries, even lithium ones, perform better during frequent recycling.

My business laptop I keep in standby almost always unless I am taking it on a plain. Easier to get it going quickly when you need to review things and less work on the system components as they do not need to go through a full boot all of the time.

I work from home primarily and when I do I constantly use it unplugged throughout the day, in the background, on the porch, in the garage.

Have done this through many years of laptops and have had batteries last me for years.

Hope this helps, now put it in stanby and go drive.
