Momentary Stop Charge and Start Charge near the limit #144

Just a minor issue, but when my phone reached the limit, it often (not always does, but a majority of times) stops charging (nothing wrong here), but then the phone instantly drops by a percent, causing the phone to start charging again, in which it stops again after a few seconds because it has reached that percentage again.

It's a minor issue, but it feels annoying, and maybe a slight delay after reaching the limit will help? Anyways, thank you for developing this app! It has really helped me keep my phone charged up to 85% and preserve its battery. Cheers.

Sorry @skaiteo98, but according to your explanation, you set lower limit = upper limit, which is known to cause exactly that kind of issues. Please use a difference of at least 1 (better 2, default) percent in order to avoid this kind of cycling, as this high frequency cycling will also impact your battery longevity!

Sorry @milux, I think my explanation has caused a bit of confusion. I did not set my lower limit = upper limit. It was set 5% lower than the upper limit.

It's an issue of your phone, nonetheless. Nothing we can do about this on our side. Increase the difference between the two limits until this issue doesn't appear anymore.
