issue: persist does not work for me (it worked in the past)

[Zeit08]

Subject of the issue

my battery limit is stuck at 60 as persistence.

I can change it to 80 or 100 and the battery charges, I also use sudo bat persist 80 or 100, but after a reboot I am still stuck at 60.

Maybe I forgot that I put this parameter somewhere manually? Can you help me troubleshoot?

Thanks

Did you run bat reset?

This can also be done manually by trying to find the service that’s setting the threshold on boot by running:

sudo journalctl --boot | rg 'bat-.*\.service'

And remove it:

sudo systemctl disable $service && sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/$service

Substituting $service with the highlighted file from the first command.

That should be enough but if you want to make sure, you can do the same for every file in /etc/systemd/system/ with a bat- prefix (and .service suffix).

Alternatively, it could be related to a kernel regression in 6.12 (#102) in which you should upgrade or if you’re on a dual boot system maybe it’s being set from Windows?

I deleted a few services with bat- as prefix and finally I am charging over 60% after a reboot. Thanks for the input of looking for the services and delete them. I appreciated the commands you wrote.
bat reset was not enough.

btw, off-topic, have you seen the next GNOME will have a battery management settings built-in?
