Charging past set limit #1202

Closed Lasvad closed 3 months ago

Lasvad commented 6 months ago

MacBook (please complete the following information):

Describe the bug

Charging past limit Went to 90% (screenshot is 85% as some time has past)

image

Limit was set to 80%

image

Manage battery longevity is enabled. maybe cause of this since if Mac is fake reporting percentages by 10%, indicating 100% when really 90% is charged, if AlDante doesn't use this fake value but the relies on the real value, AlDante might change to 80% of current total capacity while Mac reports this as 90%

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set limit to 80
  2. Charge
  3. Charged to 90%

Expected Behavior Should not charge more then 80%

Hi @Lasvad,

We have just released AlDente 1.27 which has big changes under the hood for Intel-based MacBooks. This should also make the charge limit more accurate.

Best, Matthias
