I can't help with your specific situation, except to note that my
Lenovo tablet (Android) has a feature where you can tell it to not
charge above 60%. This is intended for a use case where the tablet is
more or less permanently connected to power. Allegedly it prolongs
battery life and reduces power usage and heat production in that
situation.

For what it's worth, upower on my Lenovo laptop shows state as
"charging" and the laptop is at 85% of an 87% capacity.

I don't understand the "History" outputs from upower.

Regards, K.
