Could be a bad charger and/or cable and/or your lightning port dirty AF

It’s a factory usb cable but I can try another one. Rest of the cables throughout the house have no issues

The cable and or the charging brick you use for overnight charging your problem then.

Swap the cable with a known good one you have in the house and see what happens. If problem still occurs then swap charging bricks.

Have you cleaned out your charging port lately? It’s amazing how much crap gets in there.

What do you use to clean it? I've tried one of those duster cans and a pin, but afraid to scratch/damage it.

I use a wooden toothpick that I’ve nibbled the end a little bit on. The roughened up slightly moist wood works great for grabbing lint and dust really well and no metal on metal damage.

What you are describing is optimized battery charging. That's something different from charging only when green energy is available.

Noticed this whilst charging sometimes. Some say a good old restart should fix it but I feel like it’s deeper than that

Whiffler OP t1_j4mg41q wrote

This happens half the time. Sometimes it’ll charge to 100%. Rest of the time it’s 50-60%.

Im using one of those thicker iPad chargers with factory usbA cable. Don’t want to use a usb c fast charger for overnight charge

I would suggest calling Apple Support, and asking them to run a battery diagnostic remotely. That way they will have the result logged under the serial number of your iPhone. Then they might suggest a restore (erase/reinstall iOS), or taking it in for repair. In either case, the battery history will be erased along with the rest of your user data.

nikenick28 t1_j4nfka2 wrote

You can do that yourself when you download the apple support app now. Without having to contact a advisor.

ryansc0tt t1_j4odebs wrote

That will tell you the "health" of the battery, which you can already see under the battery menu in Settings. There is a separate "Battery Usage" diagnostic Apple support can run; which doesn't provide much additional information, but might be useful if the problem persists after a restore.

It’s to optimize battery life. You have it turned on. Turn it off and it’ll charge fully. If you leave it on your battery will last longer.

Masongill t1_j4n68dv wrote

This is apples optimized charging. It learns when you unplug your phone and maps out how to charge it to 100% 30 min before you wake up. There is nothing wrong.

_--TiTaN--_ t1_j4ncfod wrote

That’s not how optimised battery charging works, it should charge at full speed to 80% and then wait. It wouldn’t make sense otherwise, you may want to charge your phone before going for night out and phone wouldn’t charge?

“With iOS 13 and later, Optimised Battery Charging is designed to reduce the wear on your battery and improve its lifespan by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. When the feature is enabled, your iPhone will delay charging past 80% in certain situations.”

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT210512

My bet would be on damaged cable or socket full of pocket lint.

Masongill t1_j4o05yt wrote

Socket full of lint… come on. I also noticed that obviously the battery charges past 60% look at the graph.

TupperCoLLC t1_j4ny6ol wrote

pausing at 60% is way better for preserving overall battery capacity long-term than 80%. If you leave the battery in a suspended state it should ideally be as close to 50 as possible. I’d consider him lucky.

Try doing hard restart on your phone. Change the cord.

No. Power the device off completely, wait the ten seconds, and then turn it back on again.

nikenick28 t1_j4osz1d wrote

Press volume up, down, then press and hold side button till apple logo appears and let go. If there’s a software glitch preventing the charging this should clear that.

cbdubs12 t1_j4ote7w wrote

A hard reset interrupts the processes that are running and restarts the device to the same state. It will not resolve this issue. Powering the device off entirely will purge temporary files and possibly resolve a software related issue.

Call AppleCare and they will run an MRI (mobile resource inspector) remotely from your device.

This will determine whether it is hardware, software or environmental.

If it’s hardware, could he replaced under warranty. If not, argue your case.

If it’s software (hopefully it is as it’s the easiest fix) then backup, restore software from PC/Mac, restore backup and monitor for few days.

If it’s none of the above then it’s environmental. Wall adapter, cable, power board or wall socket.

Give it a shot, call takes 10 minutes and you’ll have a better direction to head in that way.

Do you have optimized charging on? When I charge mine it stays at 80% until a certain time then finishes charging later

Whiffler OP t1_j4o3uo7 wrote

Yep, optimized charging is on and I've witnessed it first hand (if say I have to wake up for early meetings, I'll see my phone sitting at 80%). The issue described in the original post shows the charging stop at 50% or so and stay there

Darth_Chehiko t1_j4of9hj wrote

Gotcha, I used to have an issue where the charger would be plugged in but the battery would still drop

Try turning off your phone and charging it. That way, you can identify jf the charger/cable/port is faulty.

All my Apple power chords broke easily because I'm a power user. I had to recycle through cheap power cords. Each time I had a power charging problem.

Right now I'm using skull candy power cord but have no Idea how long it will last.

I'm saying this it's because you might suspect it's the battery but think of that last and check everything else before that. I also thought it was the battery for my mac air but it wasn't

Turn off the optimized charging function, probably it will help

cbdubs12 t1_j4ori1d wrote

If you rule out physical symptoms (port is clear, symptom is replicated with known good cables and adapters), then power the device off. Don’t do a hard resetc that won’t change the device state.

bobjoerules t1_j4ouyaz wrote

it does so because it wants to save battery from dying faster it charges again as it thinks will be enough time before you wake

megamehmeho t1_j4p40g8 wrote

I’m pretty sure it’s to preserve battery health, it should go straight back up near the time you wake up but that doesn’t seem to have happened here, id recommend getting a 20w charger from Apple or a MagSafe one

You might have optimised charging on that makes it only charge half to protect the battery. Make sure that setting is switched off if it’s not what you want.

Bit off topic but what does that dark orange colour mean? I only see green for normal, yellow for low power mode, and red for very low charge.

Pretty sure it's just low power mode indicator

It’s a very different colour than on mine! But actually, so are the greens, both in the chart and on the switch - they’re much darker than they appear on my devices. Weird.

Edit: actually the blues are also darker. The yellow up in the battery indicator are the same though.

Oh it’s probably night shift colors then?

Dunno, I tried various combos of night shift, dark mode, smart invert, etc… could replicate! Doesn’t really matter of course, just a bit odd.

LavishnessHot8434 t1_j4p9p6e wrote

Same problem here with iPhone 13 mini. I posted some issues and reported them to Apple, no news. Some software bugs they don't want to address. Neither related to the cable (factory USB cable) nor the port. Hopefully, this gets resolved in iOS 16.3.

chadster1979 t1_j4q059t wrote

Had the exact same issue on my iPhone 11 after upgrading from iOS 15 to 16.2. Was using a non genuine wireless charger that charges my watch, AirPods and phone. Simply swapped the power brick to a genuine Apple charger and my phone charges as normal again.

Whiffler OP t1_j4o3grz wrote

I usually charge on slow chargers (5W or 10W) overnight to avoid heating up the battery. Is it better to just stick with the usb C (20W or even more?) brick and let the phone optimize the charging?

EScootyrant t1_j4ndkcl wrote

Well, I'm after preserving Battery Capacity (99% currently) for the time being. Though I have (2) 20W USBC adapters, a MagSafe puck, an NOS 5W (at work) plus several USBC cables (all OEM Apple) at my disposal..Slow charging is best for prolonging Li-ion batt life/less stress to battery (when in no hurry or for overnight charging).

_--TiTaN--_ t1_j4pxpuy wrote

It’s not always that clear, charging with 5V requires more amps and that will lead to components heating up. So you may no be doing any favours to your battery by charging with slower brick (unless it’s one of those 5V 1A brick)

I had flir picture of power bank with charging chip running at 110C/230F charging at 5V 2.5A, can’t find it though, probably deleted.

There’s a reason why electricity from power plants is transferred at up to 1.000.000 Volt.

“The USB PD PPS (programmable power supply) technology determines the charging status of a battery in real-time, adjusting the voltage and current to deliver maximum power while minimizing the temperature rise.

Qualcomm’s Quick Charge technology has evolved with a focus on temperature management. Quick Charge 2.0 added Dual Charge, which uses two power-management ICs (PMICs) in the handset to split the charging current into two streams. This reduces handset and, therefore, a rise in battery temperature.

…

Quick Charge 3.0 without Dual Charge+ is up to 6° C cooler, 16% faster, and 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0, and Quick Charge 3.0 using Dual Charge+ is up to 8° C cooler, 27% faster and 45% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0 with Dual Charge.”

I am aware of those you posted above. Did research prior to buying those Apple adapters.

However, explain to me why 13 PM get very warm with the 20W Apple wall wart?

With the 5W brick, this 13 PM is cool to the touch. Both times were inside a case.

_--TiTaN--_ t1_j4qt90p wrote

What was the temperature difference?

30C feels warm to the touch but it’s nothing for battery.

EScootyrant t1_j4qtlyr wrote

Idk, it is always very warm with the 20W. Always. Worse if I use the wireless MagSafe puck.

1

_--TiTaN--_ t1_j4quikg wrote

Yeah, with MagSafe 25% of energy is wasted as heat (takes 20 watt but delivering only 15 to phone). 20 watt is almost at limit how fast 13 can charge (22watt max I think), and 5 watt (5V at 1A) charger is super slow in comparison. That’s why in my original comment I said specifically that if you use that charger you’ll be good. How long does it take to fully charge? Must be 4h at minimum?

Why is nobody suggesting Optimized Battery Charging?

caligirl_ksay t1_j4nuisj wrote

Omg everyone on here is wrong - you have your phone set to optimize battery life and that means not fully charging until close to when you normally disconnect it. This makes the battery last longer. Turn off “optimize battery life” and it’ll charge fully every time.

Whiffler OP t1_j4o30dk wrote

Optimized charging stops at 80%, then charges to 100% by the time you wake up. Mine stops at 50% and stays there some nights and other nights I wake up and it is at 100%

ThatGuyBilly299 t1_j4o1v8j wrote

It usually stop at 80% and the percentage doesn't drop while the phone is still plug in. It seems weird to me that OP's phone hadn't even reach 50% yet

dankmeme_medic t1_j4nxx9a wrote

yes, if you plan on keeping your phone for years and years, it’s optimal to not charge beyond 60 to 70% because charging to 100% every time wears the battery out faster

but if you’re one of those people that buys a new phone every year then I guess it doesn’t matter

Rdubya44 t1_j4o4858 wrote

AngryAlien21 t1_j4n8sbe wrote

It’s optimized charging. You absolutely do not want to plug your phone in, take it to 100%, and keep it topping off the rest of the night. Lithium batteries are happiest and healthiest between 20% and 80%. The optimized charging learns your trends and slowly charges your phone to keep it in that ideal range as long as possible. It greatly improves the longevity of your battery’s health

That’s not optimized charging. Optimized charging stops at 80%, and only at 80%.

nrron t1_j4mgjfa wrote

It's the battery optimization. This is what you want the charger to do. It will only fully charge right before you usually take it off the charger to reduce wear on the battery.

It will not fully charge the battery until it thinks it needs to or you explicitly tell it too via the optimized charging notification on the Lock Screen

No, it literally stops at 56% and stays like that. In other words half the time it is at 100% at 9 am. The rest of the time it’s at 56% at 9am (like today).
