Macbook Pro battery not charging pass 83% after OS update

After updating Macbook Pro to the latest patch, battery stops charging to full 100%. It stops at 83% - saying "battery not charging". Only when the battery goes way lower than 83% it would then charge up to that.


It is an older MacBook model, MacBook Pro9,2 at 13" with DVD RW drive. MacOS Catalina, version 10.15.4.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Hi adaSF,


Thanks for your post! I see that your MacBook Pro will not charge beyond 83%.


Try resetting the SMC of your MacBook Pro; refer here:

If the issue is still persisting, I suggest you Contact Apple Support for hardware diagnostics.


Take care!
