        Hi everyone,

        Lately, I don't seem to be able to charge my battery above 80%. I don't think it was like this from the beginning. I'm pretty sure I was able to charge up to 100% when I got it and installed UT a few months ago.

        I understand Google Pixel phones can stop charging at 80% under the following usage conditions:

        • Continuous charge under high battery drain conditions, like gameplay.
        • Continuous charge for four days or more.

        However, I have not subjected it to these conditions, and I don't know if this only happens if it's running Android, or also with UT. Any experience with this?

        Best regards

              Ok, you don't need to install this before sorting your issue.

              This app allow you on certain devices to auto stop charging when reaching a value user can set.

              If you did nit install this app, that's not the origin of the issue.

                @keneda Well, it might not have been the origin of the issue, but it did help me solve it. I saw the battery charge limit was set to 85%, so I increased it to 100%, rebooted, and now it charges to 100% perfectly. Thanks for your help!
