This is an issue I’ve noticed occasionally over the last few months. I’ll be working, my battery will show at some normal percentage (anywhere from 30%-90%), and then suddenly the interface claims to be at zero. Fedora will switch to power saving mode, sometimes it will immediately hibernate and I’ll have to push the power button. But then… nothing. It’s clearly not actually dead. I tried running upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 and I see this:

This is while I’m actively plugged in, too. (And I can confirm it’s been more than 4 seconds since I ran that command!)
Any ideas for what’s going on here?
