Comment on Does the charge limit actually work?

I’m on the current beta stable release, and it’s working fine for me.
Be aware that if you’re already charged to 100%, and you play primarily plugged in and/or docked, it’s going to take to a while to work down to the level you set it at.
I do, and I set mine at 85%… it probably took 10 to 15 hours to go from 100% -> 85%. Now it sits consistently between 83% to 85% while plugged in.
Pretty sure it’s doing that slow drain on purpose because it’s better for long term battery health.
It’s doing the right thing - most of the harm has been done with the battery being charged up in the first place. If you can pull power from the wall instead of battery, do it. Ordinary usage will chip the battery down to the charge limit in due time.
I have an ASUS laptop which does not do this. When you turn on the battery limit, it stops pulling power from the wall until the battery is down to the right place. Very rude.

I have an LCD one, and I’m on stable. I’ve played handheld plenty of times getting it down to almost 0, it still charges to 100 every time afterwards
