Bug Description
Hardware: Lenovo T590
OS: 19.10
I have the battery percentage displayed next to the battery icon in the top bar (Tweaks -> Top Bar -> Battery Percentage). When the power cord is connected, it says 100%. However, if I unplug the power cord, the percentage drops down to 94% immediately. Plug in the power cord again, and it's back to 100%.
If I let the battery discharge a bit so the unplugged state shows 91%, then plug in the power cable, it says 100% briefly before updating to be 91%. Let it charge for a few minutes so with the power connected it says 92%, then unplug the power and it says 93%.
The percentage displayed when the power is connected vs when the power is not connected is not consistent with each other like it should be.
