> Framework makes it very clear that the battery should never be fully charged during BIOS updates

Not during, just at the start of the update, and a few percent is enough

> LVFS may not update if the battery is 100% charged. LVFS uses the battery status to determine if it is safe to apply updates. However if our battery is at 100% and the charger is off, we set the battery charging status to false. In this case you can discharge your battery a few percent, then plug in AC again and run fwupdmgr update.
