Why my Apple Watch is not charging 100% ?

Last update changed the charging profile. My battery optimisation is OFF and watch will never charge past 82%. Even when I catch it at 82% and touch the charging circle, it says it will keep charging but never does.

Big problem for me because I often have long workouts that require a full battery to capture the whole thing. Super frustrating.

There must be a background process that is now preventing full charge regardless of user input.

Thanks it worked for me

Same problem, fix doesn’t work.

That happened to me too. While charging, tap the charging ring on the screen. It’ll take you to the option to fully charge.

Mine too. And Apple just replaced my watch. Even when it charges to 100% it drains so fast since the last update. It’s a new watch and only last 3-4 hours

My Apple Watch stopped charging to 100% why?

This lack of charging to 100% started since the last update . What gives Apple?

Did you ever figure it out!? I have the same exact thing happening

Thank you for the response. Figured that out briefly after I posted worked for me

That’s great, drove me crazy.

Did anyone figure how to remedy this even if optimized battery charging is turned off? My watch will still only charge to 90%.

I turned it off and it still won’t charge past 80%. This is really frustrating and shouldn’t be a decision Apple makes for me!!!

Same thing happened to me. My watch has never died on me before the day is over now all the time and it doesn’t charge to 100% after being on charger for 8 hours

Can you tell where & how to fix the battery charge?

My Apple Watch Ultra 2 is only a month old. When I first got it charged no problem now it only charges to 80% and shows 100% charge on the screen until I unplug it.
