Can you give the full output of upower --dump and tlp-stat in gists, run at the same time?

It does seem like the applet is giving incorrect values, but you misinterpreted the output of tlp-stat. What you're looking for is these, the percentage charged for BAT0 and BAT1: What's interesting here is that both tlp-stat and upower --dump are giving a percentage of 78% for the secondary battery, but the applet in your panel is showing 74% - so there is a discrepancy, it just wasn't what you thought it was.

So, do I keep this issue open or close it?

Keep it open. We need to determine if there really is an issue with how the status applet calculates battery percentages.
