I used 60hz almost the entire time and had power saver on. I played asphalt 9 at 60fps on performance settings (Without X mode on) for around 45 minutes but that's about all the gaming I did. Is this normal? Cuz I heard some people saying they were getting 9+ hours.

Ok so I am just going to use common sense.

The ROG Phone II just like most flagships by other popular brands have a system designed to protect the battery and device so I don't think charging the battery for 8 hours will do anything since the system will kick in after it reaches max charge.

Battery damage ? I don't think the battery damage will come from charging the phone overnight or something. since the system is there to protect the device. Heat is the thing you need to worry about so as suggested you might want to turn your device off when you charge it from 0% since it is going to speed charge from 0% and there will be heat..so just try to keep the phone cool when you charge it and I think it will be alright.

Check out this video, I know it is for a Iphone but the battery used in the iphone is also the same..

So slow charging overnight is better than fast charging normally? Do you know if there's a way to force normal charging instead of fast on the phone? I remember my old S8 having that feature.

People are going to argue of course that over charging at night is bad but most phones have system built in but I guess no one can trust that since there are a lot of articles saying that it is bad for battery. The only way for the phone to charge slowly is to get a charger that has a output of 2.4 A or lower ? since quick chargers have a output of 3 A.
I don't charge the phone overnight but I just top it off and turn off the charger when it shows a 100% that is pretty much what I do with it.

My S8 could switch from fast charging to normal so it's definitely possible, idk if it is on the rog2 tho. And I usually charge it til it's around 75-80% then unplug it and use it normally til it gets low

yea we don't have that option available now I think ? but I think the way you are charging it now is alright.
I am not going to think the way the nerds think about batteries because let's be honest to ourselves when the next ROG Phone comes out...I am sure we will be itching to want spend on it again. So just have fun and charge it when you need to, I am sure the phone was designed in a way that we don't have to worry about it.
Just one important thing to note is to not let the phone heat up too much.

I'm probably gonna stick with this phone for a while, even when the new rog comes out.
Also how much heat is too much? When playing asphalt it goes upto around 40ish degrees celsius, and around 44 when playing it for 2 hours. Upto 39 when using the phone for medium intensity tasks while charging.
