Apple Watch Series 7 not fully charging!

when I first got my Apple watch 7, it fully charged quickly.

Now after a month of use it stops charging between 70-80%

no matter how long I leave it on the charger.

I tried downloading the latest firmware (8.3) last night and still did not fix the issue.

If you have optimized battery charging enabled as would be usual and expected, then Watch is charged to 80% and holds until shortly before your normal start of usage.


This intended to extend the life of the battery, as holding near or at full charge tends to degrade the battery more quickly.
