AirPods Pro battery issue

I am using 1 week old AirPods Pro to listen to podcasts for about an hour at the gym with anc on and volume at 60%. When I finish training, AirPods are at 81% ( which I think is how it should be), but when I put them inside the charging case they instantly appear to be at 46%. That’s with 58 minutes of usage as you can see in the pictures. Then after some time when I check them again they have charged up to 64% And the % of the case has gone down which means that the 46% shown when I placed them in the case was correct? this the 3rd time such an inaccuracy has occurred. Anyone else having a similar issue with new AirPods Pro? Could it be a software issue? I made sure they are updated! :/

Hey I think it should be a glitch, cause now they appear to be fully charged at 100% and the case only dropped from 90% to 85%. I suppose if they were truly down to 46% the cases battery would have decreased more, right? It still bugs me even if it is a glitch though... another thing they do is that they appear to be 99% charged 2 seconds after I take the out of the case -_-

Exactly same issue here. Just to mention that this has happened to me before, but I didn’t give the issue too much attention. I have also reset the iPods pro several times. For a few days after each reset, battery reading seems to return to normal (same level out and inside the case), but then the problem returns. When I put them in case, for a couple of seconds the reporting is correct. Then, after a minute or so when I open the lid, the level generally drops by around 30%. No clue, but I believe it’s software/firmware related.

I am having this exact same issue. I worked out for an hour at the gym, when i checked my battery widget at the end, the Airpods pro were at 80%, I put them in the case and then about 5 minutes later I looked at the percentage by opening the case and my Airpods had dropped to 44%!


Even though I believe this to be only a visual issue, it is pretty irritating. I hope an update comes soon.
