Incessant Low Battery Warnings
Expected behavior
A warning when the battery is low, with occasional reminders thereafter.
Actual behaviour
Incessant low battery warnings when the battery hits 30%. I haven't had a chance to dig into the code yet, but what I think is happening is when the battery hits 30% a warning gets generated. At the next battery check, the voltage has recovered just enough to reset the "low battery" status. Then the check after that shows just below 30%, so we get another warning. The lack of hysteresis can mean I get spammed with alert popups every minute or two.
I think the easiest fix is to set a timer after the first alert that blocks any subsequent alerts until 1) the timer expires, or 2) the voltage drops by a further 10%, whichever hits first.
I would suggest 60 minutes for the timer as long as the remaining battery is above 5%, at which point it reduces to 10 minutes. And for the voltage thresholds, I would set the steps to 30 - 20 - 10 - 5% as the points where the alert fires regardless of the timer status (and then resetting the timer as described above).
I still don't quite have everything set up to get moolticute to build just yet, otherwise I would have included a diff :-(.

hmmm that's quite interesting.... I remember seeing a similar bug on MacOS only...
hello @rastagraffix ! Is it a warning from moolticute or macOS? If the latter, could you try our latest beta on beta-updates.themooltipass.com/ ?
I have been seeing this issue first on Windows 10 and then on Windows 11. After it is unplugged from USB for a few hours, I get the below 30% warning. This has happened since new so I consider the battery & Bluetooth features useless, in my experience.

I was wondering if there has been improved hardware since the first batch. My Serial is below 2000.
Still happening with 1.00.0. Overnight, I can get literally hundreds of these.
