Battery monitor doesn't look like your AC is plugged in. (In reply to Kai Uwe Broulik from comment #1) > Battery monitor doesn't look like your AC is plugged in. Yes, I unplugged it for the moment. I closed the notification window, but can try again next time. Hmm, strange, PowerDevil has explicit code to revoke the battery low notification in case the AC adapter is plugged in or battery charge goes above the low threshold again. Yes, I can confirm the bug on Debian unstable with the same software versions as the reporter. I just had another weird behaviour : - My battery discharged to 10% and I got the notification. - I plugged my AC and the notification disappeared. - I unplugged it, while still at 10%. - The battery continued discharging below 10% and I didn’t get the notification again (I ended up plugging the AC anyway at 7%). There seem to be an issue with the interaction between the AC plugging / unplugging and being exactly at 10% or not.

I tried to reproduce it again, with no luck. The battery low notification went away as soon as I connected the charger. Sorry, I must have previously connected the charger when the laptop lid was down (laptop in sleep mode) and I disconnected it also when still in sleep mode. I checked it now, and indeed it shows "Battery Low (99% remaining"). > The battery low notification went away as soon as I connected the charger
Yep, since this bug was reported, we added code to do that!

Created attachment 154580 [details] screenshot SUMMARY The notification shows "Battery Low (99% remaining)" which sounds ridiculous. See the attachment STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1.

Connect your charger OBSERVED RESULT The content of the notification keeps updating the percentage up to 100%, still saying battery low EXPECTED RESULT Notification disappears after charged above some threshold SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7
