Seeing Mouse Battery Level

I used to be able to see the mouse battery charge level on the menu bar. Why did they remove it? Now I have to go into settings and into all the mouse details to see the battery charge.

If I could see it on the menu bar it might remind me to charge it over night, instead of waiting until I get a low level warning!

Put mouse battery level back into the menu bar!!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Can you check the Magic Mouse's battery level? I have the latest iMac and the latest Magic Mouse that goes with it. Since it does not use batteries anymore and now has to be charged, is there a way to check the mouse's battery level? The mouse has died on me twice now when I need to use my computer so it would be nice to see the charge level so that I know when to charge it.

Magic mouse low battery warning I have a magic mouse with my M1 iMac, with a rechargeable battery. I only get a low battery warning when I log on, and often the warning indicates a very short time remaining before I need to recharge. Since the recharge port is on the base of the mouse, this means that I can do little or no work until I have put at least some charge back into the battery. It would be much more convenient if macOS would give me an earlier warning (say 10% battery level) while I am still active in an earlier work session; then I could plan my recharging for a time when I'm not using the computer. Is there any way that I can encourage the OS to give me such a warning? Thanks.
