What is the issue? (required)
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

GUI does not change charging behavior, in fact it does nearly nothing. The only features that work are enabling the 80% limit and force discharging to the 80% limit. For everything else you must rely on terminal command lines. If you uninstall there are a ton of errors on reboot, and you'll be stuck with whatever battery % was setup in command line, or 80% in GUI.

What exactly did you do to produce the issue? (required)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Battery GUI
  2. Click on 'Disable or Uninstall'....'
  3. Scroll down to 'Disable or Uninstall....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior (required)
Expect the disable to actually stop the 80% limit. Expect uninstall to remove entirely and restore back to normal charging function. Does not.

Hi,
I confirm that the app is broken. I don't know if this is related to the recent macOS updates.

I managed to restore my Mac's charging behavior with the following 2 steps:

  1. By uninstalling the application in CLI with the battery uninstall command.
  2. By resetting my SMC using the Apple procedure

For others,

I discovered that when I closed my M1 Mac's lid so it went to sleep, then plugged it in, it would not charge even though the battery was low.

This was through the CLI version on Homebrew. I'm not sure if the GUI version has this same issue.

EDIT: I'm going to go try this: https://github.com/zackelia/bclm
