I updated my linux using the update manager, and then when my laptop is plugged in it doesnt really charge, just has the charging icon but says (using the battery) instead of how much time is left until the battery is charged.
The charghing light on my pc is on, but the icon doesn't show any charging
also, when i unplug and plug it again, it doesnt detect it as charging
rn it is plugged and my laptops battery light is on
but linux doesn't show it as charging
im scared lmao
like it is detected but it isnt charging
just stays the same

well it wont if u just replug it.. the voltage has floated up

@vital sedge I think I have had the same issue. Seems like some kind of firmware bug. If you let it down to zero percent, it will "reset" and the charging will start to behave normally again. Unfortunately, I do not know any other way to fix it

so i let it go to 0?
what if it doesnt charge again lmao

the battery voltage has gone up substantially enough that the charging system wont apply further energy
vital sedge
idk im scared, never had this happening to me

so i let it go to 0?
If it's the same issue as me, yeah, that should do the trick (but it's not a permanent fix).

look in Power Management, battery tab

i see, i gotta let it go really low and then try it again, if not, just to 0
vital sedge
look in Power Management, battery tab
ok
plain girder
yeah let it drop to the ideal 30%

i see
i mean its kinda my fault bc i always let it plugged
vital sedge
yeah let it drop to the ideal 30%
okay okay i see
also this, the battery's history
NVM
it recovered
plain girder
yeah let it go a while, like Lodestar said
vital sedge
yeah let it go a while, like Lodestar said
im gonna let it go to 10% anyways, just in case
yeah back to normal, apparently
now i unplug it and wait
Battery issues <SOLVED>
fast depot
I wouldn't say it is solved yet
vital sedge
meh, i kinda have to wait and thats it
fast depot
But do tell us if the problem is resolved once it is at zero

for a more permanent fix I think you need to update the embedded firmware somehow

the bios software?
fast depot
the bios software?
No, not the bios
vital sedge
yeah i can update it, haven't done it since 2018

ah i see
i can do that
but at the moment im gonna drain the battery
should take abt an hour

yeah u were right, thanks

the battery pack has a monitor chip that may simply be miscalibrated. So 85 is really 100. I wouldnt pay it mind if u get good run time

Actually, should I delete my comments here and make a new issue thread?
