For the longevity of the battery, you shouldn't let it get that low. Lithium batteries really dislike being below 10% or above 90%. Ideally you should charge above 30% and stop at 90%. Samsung even offers a feature for when to stop charging. Apple has a battery health report that tells you how well it's performing compared to when it was new. Fast charging above 30W is hard on health too. You should use a charger below that. I personally use an 18W charger.
You may have long battery life now, but it won't last with poor battery hygiene. I've personally ruined batteries in the past in 3-4 years to where the phone can no longer accurately read the battery level. People I know have done it too. My last phone lasted a whopping 6 years before the battery finally started screwing up.
Sony also has a feature that will limit battery top-up, called "Battery care". You can set it to limit charging to 90% or 80% (they recommend 80%), it has several modes (e.g. always vs "smart" that will resume charging if you replug), and it will go to 100% once in a while just to check your max capacity.
