Still exists. The Indicator is stuck at "Estimating...". The logs show this:

My device shuts down unexpectedly mid work, although the indicator shows enough energy. The reverse has also happened, where my device ran for hours with only 5% battery left.

I also observed that after plugging in a phone or tablet to charge, the power level drops from 100% to 50% instantly after a while and stays there while the devices charge and while "tracker-miner-fs" goes wild... .

I had apcupsd installed on this machine, which I purged together with "power-profiles-daemon". After installing "tlp" (plus "acpi-call-dkms"), I still get the messages above.

Seems related:
