Need output of `upower -d` when the widget shows "plugged but not charging"

What's the output of this command?

gdbus call -e -d org.freedesktop.PowerManagement -o "/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement" -m org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.GetPowerSaveStatus

What a long command to get such tiny output.

(true,)

So upower/powerdevil correctly reports the battery status, but the widget shows wrong information, which is weird.

That seems to be it, how do we proceed?

Hello, suddenly this issue is no longer happening, I'll close the issue, I have no idea what I did to fix it, or if some package update fixed it.
