Comment on Steam Deck gets a Battery Charge Limit control in the latest Beta

Not quite - batteries have something called self-discharge, which happens faster at higher temps. If you're actively using the deck, it can get warm which speeds up this process. It's not fast, but it's absolutely possible to see depending on how long you leave the deck docked

Battery self discharge is measured in days at worst, more typically weeks or months. It should not be dropping 5% over the course of an hour or so even if the device is a bit warm. Plus having it plugged in should start charging again once the battery starts dropping too low.

Sparky1337 hasn’t said anything about how long it had been plugged in before he saw it at 95%, so I was kinda assuming he was leaving it plugged in overnight, or leaving it docked for long amounts of time.
