ALDente Pro battery manager app no longer seems to be controlling the battery charge level. I recently got a Plugable UD-ULTC4K docking station. Now the docking station charges my M2 MacBook Air. For some reason, the battery charge level is no longer correlated to the setting in ALDente Pro. For a number of days after first installing the docking station, the battery level stayed at 70-71%. I was using it all day, and when I remembered, I unplugged the USB-C from the dock to the MBA overnight. For several days now, I have had the ALDente app set at 50%, to see if the charge level would drop. It has not. I attached a screen shot of my ALDente app's settings. I am not clear on what they mean. I did not change any settings from before I got the dock, but not sure if somehow the app changed a setting from seeing a new power charging device. Before, I charged during the day with the Apple 65W charger w/ MagSafe 3 cable.

Edit: Added Battery Status screen shot taken 8 mins. after ALDente app settings screen shot was taken.
