The electronics know best, but there's nothing wrong with stopping the charge early if you need to for whatever reason - i.e. to make the start of a heat etc.
It's not like the good old days of Nicads or Nimhs where you'd nuke the s##t out of them for maximum punch... the performance difference is negligible in the upper voltages for Lipo cells, and certainly not worth the risk of detonation
Make sure your charger is set for Lipo chemistry & balance charge whenever possible.
