It depends on the BMS. Some have big buffers, some don’t. One simple clue is how fast it charges relative to the state of charge. If the battery takes a while to go from 95 to 100%, it more likely goes to a full state of charge. If the battery charges very fast to 100%, it probably has some buffer.
In my experience, vacuum cleaners and smartphones are designed to destroy the battery as fast as possible, while most car manufacturers will have a big buffer and lie about the true 100%. With some notable exceptions though, like Tesla that allows to charge to 100% with some scary warnings or Nissan that designed some early Leafs battery pack without longevity in mind.
