Trying to get ltp to manage charging limits has proven difficult. Discharged my laptop to ~50%, then plugged in power. But the charging continues beyond my charging limit and is now nearing 100% again as seen by tlp-stat:
sudo tlp-stat -s -b

+++ Battery Care
Plugin: cros-ec
Supported features: charge thresholds, recalibration
Driver usage:
- natacpi (cros_charge-control) = active (charge thresholds, recalibration) - EC cmd v3
Parameter value ranges: - START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0/1: 0(off)..99
- STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0/1: 1..100(default)

+++ Recommendations
- BAT1 charge level is above the stop threshold. Use your laptop on battery power until the battery is discharged to the stop threshold
I’ve set the charging limit to 100 in the BIOS setup. Don’t know what else to try. I just found it smarter to control charging limits with tlp than through the bios setting. I have identical setup on my other laptop that works fine (old T460p).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Best
