Hello,
since about two weeks the set charge control does not work anymore. The small green charging sign is permanently visible in the battery icon (taskbar). I have always used the charge control natively from the Manjaro settings and also installed tlpui two days ago, but unfortunately that did not improve things either.

Even if inxi -Fx and tlp-stat -b say that the battery is currently not charging, I get the green charging icon in the battery sign.
Up until two weeks ago, it was still the case that I could see from the charging symbol whether the batteries were currently being charged or not, this sometimes changed several times a day (which was true). The battery symbol also says “Fully charged”.
Am I alone with this problem or is this something general? Ideas how I get the before state again?
Have a nice weekend!
