in version 1.3, after entering password this message comes up: "There was a problem setting the charge limit. Please make sure you have administrator privileges."

but in older version works v1.21, no such a messages and works fine.

Could you please try running this command in Terminal and copy what result you get here?

"<path-to-charge-limiter.app>/Contents/Resources/smcutil" -r BFCL

I'm having the same behaviour, the command you gave returned no data for me.

@manasv Could I get your MacBook model and OS version?

manasv commented 3 years ago

I'm on MBP 16" Base Model and right now on beta (Big Sur 11.0.1 Beta)

(The past version works as @iPlasm said)

Yes that works, the message said successful. (but I need more time to see the results) for optional, I like that you add an icon for it, it's easier to know and nice to have. I love this icon, unless if copywriting is issue (not sure) https://icon-library.com/icon/android-battery-icon-18.html

For v1.21, I tested on MacBook 12" 2017 and MacBook 13" 2012 (both Macs 10.15.7), they were both worked great at the percentage battery level I want. Today I was tried to active on my MacBook 15" 2012 too, so it was chance that I faced this update notify. Thank you
