This happened at a very inopportune time so apologies for the text being a bit bad. background: framework laptop 13 with 7640 u running fedora 40. ran great for a few months. issue: played some games on battery power. battery health went from mid 90's to 43. i know playing on battery is bad for it but that is more what i'd expect if I took a hammer to it. what i've tried: rebooted, cleared upower history, removed 90% charge limit in bios then shut down and charged.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Edit: I ran it out of battery while on the bios screen then charged it to full before powering it on. Battery health is now showing 91%. I'll see if it lasts, but I'm glad I didn't just go out and buy a battery without troubleshooting first.

After cycling the battery properly the health is showing 91% and has been working well all day. It's almost like fixing the problem was a good idea.

I’m not gonna fight you and I’m happy you’re getting the experience you want.

Consider getting a replacement while the battery is still in warranty.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
