battery charge limit does not stop charging to achieve a lower limit

[gitfish77]

For example, with battery charge limit = 80% and the laptop is plugged in:

• When the laptop battery is currently at 40%, then the charging will continue until reaching 80%. As expected and great.
• When the laptop battery is currently at 90%, then the battery level is always at 90% and never drops. Still the same behavior after restarting g-helper.

Desired behavior:

• Stop charging to reduce the battery charge to the given limit.

My setup:
g-helper v0.229 (running as admin) on Asus TUF Gaming A14. Windows 11 24H2.
Already stopped the Asus Services in g-helper.
The laptop is plugged in with the charging port (not the USB-C port).

@gitfish77 hello, what you have explained is absolutely normal.

When your battery is already charged to 90% it won't "magically" discharge by itself, unless you unplug device. But it's not charging anymore. It just keeps current charge.

When device is plugged in to a regular charging port it always runs from the wall power (not from the battery!).

@gitfish77 small correction. In some rare cases, and when you use some low power charger (or unofficial one) under heavy load laptop can use both charger + battery, since charge by itself does not provide enough power. But I doubt you will ever encounter that :)
