I don’t know exactly when this started (I’d say since I upgraded to GNOME 42), but from time to time the indicator of battery percentage on the panel (or dash to panel) “freezes” and stops updating. Now, for example, although my battery is charging (as acpi correctly shows), the indicator is frozen…

Hi! Maybe this can workaround your problem. [image] Battery Status freezes Support O have (apparently) the same problem in my laptop. I wrote the following script to workaround the problem when that happens: #!/bin/bash ## Workaround to force updating the battery charge …

Thanks, but it doesn’t work for me, as acpi isn’t the problem. Acpi correctly displays the percentage when it’s run. The panel probably reads the battery status from somewhere else.

The battery value is updated when the charger is plugged or unplugged.

Same problem here, any suggestion to fix my problem?

ACPI is showing an accurate percentage, but the battery widget is stuck at a random value from previous shutdown. Also, while charging the laptop, battery indicator works fine

I think I got a little bit closer to the solution. The battery indicator probably reads the percentage from upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 which in my case doesn’t show the correct value. Right now, for instance, acpi shows 55% while upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/device…

Some more info. The command that should force upower to refresh the battery status busctl call --system org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 org.freedesktop.UPower.Device Refresh returns an error: Call failed: Method Refresh is not implemented on interface org.freed…

my battery is charging, KDE can display it, but acpi does not recognize. acpi Battery 0: Not charging, 97% Battery: ID-1: BAT0 charge: 53.5 Wh (97.8%) condition: 54.7/54.7 Wh (100.0%) volts: 17.1 min: 15.4 model: Sunwoda 5B10W51820 type: Li-poly serial: <filter> status: not charging cycl…

No, what you show is that KDE shows the same as acpi (status: not charging). In this case, this is different from the issues reported by previous users. Previous users report acpi gets it right, but DE doesn’t. You should try the solution I suggested earlier.

I have the same problem. I ran the command “upower --monitor” and nothing was displayed. I figured out that restarting upower.service fixes the problem. sudo systemctl restart upower.service I do not know why the service has to be restarted when resuming from suspend.
