This is because the indicator currently doesn't handle coarse battery level reporting. There's an example of how we might handle that in this proposed branch: https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-power/pull/253

Thank you. I did notice something today. The power level does not change when the mouse is plugged in. When it is not plugged in it seems to have the right charge percentage. I am going to test some more things today.

@tradecraft1 that's okay this doesn't need any further information at the moment. If it still isn't working after coarse battery levels are implemented then we can see if there's something else going on, but I'm pretty confident that's the issue :)
