I don’t see any such option. Perhaps it depends on the battery / laptop?

sudo tlp-stat --battery

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_start_threshold = (not available) 
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_control_end_threshold   = (not available)

How to set battery charging limit in kde?

In the KDE system settings → Power Management → Advanced Power Settings [image]

I just checked tlp-stat on my Lenovo Legion and it seems supported. However, in the KDE Advanced Power Settings its not there.

Any advice?

EDIT:
Noticed that when I first open the Advanced power management it shows for a split second then disappears after that.

Per your edit, I see the same on my Lenovo Thinkbook, just a brief moment it shows the option before flashing away.
