[SOLVED] Battery life down 5% in 5 days

  • OS: Arch Linux KDE with Linux kernel 6.1.37-1-lts
  • 13th gen i5

(Dates are from my timezone.)
I preordered a Framework laptop in May, and it arrived on the 4th of July. It is currently the 10th of July for me, and I have only charged the laptop 4 times. On the 9th, KDE showed a battery health, and now it shows 95%. I have not set a charging limit for the battery. The only intensive tasks that I have done are a Blender single-frame render (5 minute run time), 3 hours of Linux native games, and 47 minutes of a game running on Proton.
My battery also has CL written in blue pen above the QR code “label”, and I have only used my HDMI expansion card for only 10 minutes (I only used 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A cards).
Is this a normal occurrence, a defect, or a bad charge limit?

I think so?

I think my battery started around 97 - 98%. How much battery capacity/health will I lose after 100 cycles? I don’t want to replace the battery anytime soon.

Thank you for helping me.

Hopefully this helps address your concern thanks to amoun?

Update: “Battery health” went back to 97% after some charge cycles. However, battery percentage drops quickly in the night when in a suspend state (I don’t know which). I have not installed any tools, so I will just edit this when I find a solution on the forums. I’ll just look around on the forums, probably won’t edit this.
