Charge limit is ignored - Notebook still charges to 100% despite --charge-limit 60% #291

Description

@Tealk

The framework_tool accepts setting a charge limit (via --charge-limit), but does not apply it. The battery continues to charge to 100% even though a limit of 60% is configured.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run sudo framework_tool --charge-limit (shows e.g., "Minimum 0%, Maximum 60%")
  2. Run sudo framework_tool --power
  3. Observe that despite the 60% limit, the charge level is set to 100%

Current Behavior

$ sudo framework_tool --charge-limit
Minimum 0%, Maximum 60%

$ sudo framework_tool --power
Battery SoC:      100%
Charge level:     100%
Battery discharging

The charge limit is saved, but not respected by the system.

Expected Behavior

The battery should stop charging at 60%, not at 100%.

System Information

  • framework_tool version: 0.6.1
  • Framework Laptop model: 16" AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
  • OS: Arch, Wayland, Gnome

Additional Context

The tool appears to change the configuration, but the underlying system ignores the set limit and still charges the battery to full capacity.
