Blue pause symbol without a paper plane?

[Qhilm]

Hello, my Mac is somehow not charging, it shows a blue pause symbol without any paper plane:

Heat protection is off, my charger can deliver 40W but the MacBook currently only consumes 10-12W, the battery does not show up in the visual flow. The same charger was perfectly capable of charging the MacBook to 100% a couple of weeks ago.

It sounds as if the macOS was overriding AlDente. I reinstalled the helper, but it did not help.

If I click "charge to full now" in macOS, it works, it starts charging at 40W.

Should I send the debug files somewhere?

macOS 15.0.1, AlDente Pro 1.28.5.

Hi @Qhilm,

Do you have Apple's Optimized Battery charging disabled?

Best,

Thanks, somehow macOS Sequoia re-enabled this setting, it was off before. Thanks!
