Battery Indicator occasionally doesn't show charging status

[kmandarin-orange]

Prerequisites

• [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

Describe the bug

Intermittently, the battery icon will not change to show charging status when the laptop is plugged in. The computer is charging however, as the "online" output in the screenshot below shows that charging is active and working.

To Reproduce

As of now I haven't found the pattern to reproduce this, but usually this occurs after about +16 hours of uptime. It might be related to suspend since I use that frequently.

Expected behavior

When the power cable is plugged in I expect the indicator to show the charging icon until it hits 100%.

Screenshots or screen recordings

Logs

Unfortunately I couldn't find any of the applicable logs for wingpanel, if anyone does know where to go for that I'll add logs (I'm fairly new to this, so thanks for your patience).

Platform Information

• [x] I'm using the latest released stable version

Additional context

I've also discovered that if I log out and log in again the problem does disappear for a while. Like I mentioned earlier this bug might be related to the suspend feature, since my computer suspends at least once or twice a day, but I haven't taken note of that myself so I can't be sure.
