SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Sometimes, the battery icon in the KDE tray menu still displays the charging icon after unplugging the charging cable.
Move the mouse up, and the pop-up label shows that the charger is connected, but it is still being discharged. The power supply is insufficient and cannot be charged.
Plug in the charger again and it returns to normal, but the charging icon is still displayed when you unplug it again. Whenever this problem occurs, it will only recover after restarting. But I'm not sure how to reproduce this problem, it seems to be a random


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug charger
2. unplug charger

OBSERVED RESULT

The battery icon shows charging

EXPECTED RESULT

show discharged

Comment 1 ljh.arthur 2024-03-14 05:08:52 UTC 
Guys I found a way to reproduce it, it is related to hibernation in Archlinux.
I set up hibernation recovery
(Add swap uuid to /etc/default/grub, and add the resume hook in mkinitcpio.conf,  copy the memory to the swap partition when hibernating, and recover when the system boots) 
1. Close the lid of the laptop when it is not charging (I set hibernating when the lid is closed)
2. Keep the lid closed and plug in the charger
3. Open the cover, turn on the phone, wait for a while, and then pull out the charger.
Comment 2 ljh.arthur 2024-03-14 05:28:58 UTC 
It seems that this problem can be triggered by rebooting while keeping the charger plugged in, and then unplugging it after entering the system. No hibernation is required.

What exactly do you mean by "after entering the system"? After logging into Plasma? I can't reproduce it with these steps.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2025-04-08 19:28:48 UTC 
Can you check again in Plasma 6.3 or later and see if this is still happening?

Thanks a lot!
