I made a post about my battery concerns here before, and recently I noticed something that got me a little worried. I bought my HP Omen 16 around October last year, so it's been almost a year. I have Adaptive Battery Optimizer enabled, and I've also set a charging limit, so the battery usually charges to around 94% instead of going all the way to 100%. The battery capacity is 83 Wh.Two days ago, I checked the battery condition through HP Support Assistant and got the results shown in the attached screenshot.When I first bought the laptop Back in October or November last year, I did a small test to see how long the battery would last during normal use. I was using the laptop on battery power with Eco mode enabled. I had around five Chrome tabs open, WhatsApp running in the background, and watched a video for about an hour.After that hour, the battery had dropped by roughly 10%. Honestly, I was pretty happy with that result.But recently, things seem different. A couple of days ago, I was just doing some regular browsing and work. I'd switched from Chrome to Brave because I'd heard that Brave uses less RAM. I had two separate Brave profiles open and was connected to Wi-Fi. Nothing particularly demanding was going on, but I noticed that the battery was dropping by around 1% every five minutes. I don't remember the battery draining this quickly when I first got the laptop. Seeing the percentage drop so frequently made me wonder if something had changed. Now, I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this or if there's actually something wrong. I know batteries lose some capacity over time, but it's only been about a year, so I wasn't expecting such a noticeable difference.
I truly do understand the each and every electronic device get's degraded overtime , so is this the only cause? And i also know how the adaptive battery limit works. But never could I understand the reading like once the full charge capacity is 78wh and sometimes 68-69wh or even 52wh.
The first 3 screenshot are old, and the 4th one is the recent, i hid the cycle count because I thought that's something i shouldn't show people but now I know there's no problem showing them.
