I'm running Debian Sid 5.16.0-4-amd64 from the repo. I just did a long needed aptitude safe-upgrade (I don't believe my kernel got upgraded). After reboot I am seeing upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 report the state of the battery going from fully-charged to charging every few seconds (which is throwing up notifications in KDE every few seconds). The charging indicator LED on the machine is maintaining white for fully charged (yes I know this is subjective). Battery percent is maintained at 99%. Additionally about a month ago I replaced the battery in this machine to a new generic one off of Amazon, after install and discharge/recharging the thing a couple of times upower reported about a 94% battery capacity (which I feel like is typical of generic replacement batteries). Today it's at 93.1404%. I looked through the "Battery recalibration" thread from April, I could have sworn linux these days (along with the bios) manage recalibration on their own, but I suppose I'm mistaken. So at this point I don't know if the issue is something got tweaked on this last apt upgrade, or a recalibration needs to happen. Any advice would be appreciated.
