That's normal. Called CC/CV. Up to 4.2V/cell in CC - constant current, then CV - constant voltage as current drops off. Then at some point the charger will finish.

It is OK to stop the charge early if you want, the last bit adds very little capacity/run time.

For the LVC, better to stop running as soon as the power drops off.
