Framework Laptop 13 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.07 Release - Held

I think there may be another regression in 3.07 where charging from low-power PD sources is no longer working or not working as well. In 3.05 I was able to charge slowly from 18w and 20w PD devices even when using the computer for light tasks, but in 3.07 the charge is not happening or is imperceptibly slow. I can sometimes see the charging widget in the task bar intermittently switching from charging to not charging.

E: on further use I am not sure this is a regression-- I think the charging isn’t happening or intermittent when the power draw exceeds the low power charger, like when decoding a YouTube video or playing a game. I’m not sure if this is how it behaved in 3.05. When doing ultra light tasks the laptop is charging (slowly) as before.
