Leave this thread up the top, so I can show it to the apple senior advisor.
Advisor is forwarding this whole thread to the engineer 😎 I ain’t playing games.
Were you sharing screens with him? Or just telling him to come to Macrumors himself? LOL
Wanted to perform a diagnostic test on my phone 🙄🤦♂️ Told him stop playing games, go to macrumors forums, there is a 15 page thread, forward it to apple asap!!!
He forwarded the entire thread to apple engineers.

Are you joking? Hahah
Were you able to mention this infamous thread as well?
Yellow Screen/Tint? Display seem "Warm"? Check here first!
Reports are already surfacing of a classic annual tradition in iPhone land - the dumping of yellow tinted reject screens on unsuspecting consumers. This happens literally every year, since the iPhone 3G. Every. Year. without fail. Same tint. Same excuses from Apple apologists. The fact is, not...

Well, great. The title is still misleading though. But thanks for your service
To sum up it’s easy, if you hard reboot, the system doesn’t update battery percentage correctly anymore afterwards, but only at each reboot, and then stays basically stationary or drops sloooowly
This is my battery graph now, you can clearly see when I reboot and the systems get the new correct percentage (as confirmed by coconut battery when connected to a Mac)
Now I realize this might be happening to others too, which had big leaps in battery percentage when rebooting
Restoring as new doesn't help. Charging to 100% doesn't help
Hope they find a fix in two days or I think I'll be returning mine

It will keep working even when you switch OBC back on. The issue returns if you restart the phone, confirming the title of the whole thread. Next I’ll be testing whether the issue persists if you do not turn OBC off and charge to 100, but considering that this is a Pro Max I’ll find out in two days after the next charging session.
Does the issue start when you do a normal shutdown or a hard shutdown?
Ok, but only an hard reboot triggers it in the first place, mine was working fine before, this is why the title is misleading and this was confirmed by the confusion in the first pages of the thread
If you’ll never hard reboot you’re safe. The first time you hard reboot the phone is done
Also mine is a regular 13 Pro. I think this issue might affect all the line
This sounds like it’s a returning iOS bug that happened a few patches ago:

I wouldn’t worry too much about this as it’ll be fixed in a patch at some point.
How To Fix iPhone Battery Percentage Bug In iOS 14
Is your iPhone battery percentage wrong since updating to iOS 14? Is the displayed value obviously wrong? Here is what you can do to fix it!

I don’t think I have done a hard shutdown. I wonder if a DFU would correct the issue once you have it. A DFU reloads all of the OS, so in theory that might just clear the corruption.
That is a bit different issue.This sounds like it’s a returning iOS bug that happened a few patches ago:

Not going there, they ran a diagnostic test last time, lmao!Are you joking? Hahah

Nope. All I did were normal run of the mill slide-to-power-off shutdowns. They all triggered the issue.
I might try that tomorrow. My only fear if there’s something else to do to “recalibrate” the battery. Maybe some device they only have in an Apple Store, dunno
I have done a lot of normal restarts on my phone and the issue did not get triggered. I don't believe I have tried a hard shutdown and I don't think I will try.
Then sorry, this is new to me. I soft rebooted normally before with no problems. This is a weird problem
Something too get clarified here. When you have the issue and you charge your phone, do you see the battery percentage go up?
Yep, then it doesn’t go down again, gets stuck in battery gate mode 🤦♂️
Apple engineers are reading this thread as we speak. 😁
Are you saying that if you charge the phone when the battery percentage is stuck on lets 85 and you charge the phone to 90. Once you take the phone off the charger the battery will start dropping normally and get stuck at 85 again?
EDIT: You mean it goes up but doesn't come down again? So the battery charged to 100% will be stuck at 100%.
Thanks for this. Apparently I purchased this same exact one last year just so that I can use home to have it automatically set to ON at a certain time of day to begin charging and also set to off at a certain time. I knew about the shortcut but I've been lazy. I just saw your set up and I also set up the Shortcut automation to turn off the Smart plug when phone reaches 85%.
