It’s how they categorize different run types.
“any%” means you just need to “beat” the game, you can use glitches, and skip large sections and whatnot.
“100%” means you need to collect all things, unlock all of the things, or hit all checkpoints, whatever “doing 100% of the game” means for that game.
There are also “meme” categories for some games like “sex%” in Baldur’s Gate 3, where it’s the fastest time to have sex after starting a new game. Right now it’s just over 2 minutes.
I know what a speed run is, but what’s an any%?

or nipple% in mario odyssey, where you have to buy the swimming shorts as fast as possible to show mario’s nipples.
Wait so they have sex on the Mind Flayer ship? How‽
Edit; Nope, it apparently just takes 32s to complete the ship level….
Any % just means that you wouldn’t have to collect all collectibles or complete all side quests.
More specifically - see the credits by any means necessary.
You do not need to fight any bosses or even play the actual game, necessarily.
The Pokemon Yellow Any% never has you leave your house.
The Baldur’s Gate 3 Any% likewise doesn’t have you fight anyone important and is over in less than 5 minutes. (There are Act 2 spoilers. Yes, you can reach Act 2 in under 5 minutes.)
