I wonder if that's because the code reads the current input power, which varies depending on need, instead of the reported capability of the power source
if it's affecting actual charging speeds then it's a charger issue, decky cannot assume direct control over the charge controller, i'm guessing the steam deck's light turns yellow and this happens even when completely powered off? cuz with the decky issue the light never turns yellow, it's just accidentally triggering the slow charge notification ui code when it shouldn't be
This sort of thing is one if the reasons why most companies don't allow plugins like this. People misattribute the poor experience to the official software and there's nothing they can do about it
Not minor because now my deck is stuck on low charge mode. It takes 14 hours to fully charge up, and many else have this problem right now. Bug came after last update before this. Battery is 99% intact.
it is confirmed to be a bug with the most recent version of the steamgridDB plugin for Decky loader. If you roll back to the previous version of it or disable the plugin the slow charger notification stops. It's also causing some weird CPU spikes as well.

I hope they are already aware about the "Slow Charger" message that always pops up even the official charger is plugged in.
A very minor bug, in my opinion, but I'm sure that a lot of users will be very happy if they finally fixed it.
