Question

Quest 2 battery going straight from 100% to 24% when unplugged

I'm wondering if this is a visual bug or an actual issue because it happens instantly

Sometimes this doesnt happen so im just confused on what is causing this

I'll unplug it after it says 100% and instantly plug it back in to test it and its just straight to the 20's

Another thing i should state is that the oculus is off during this

I'm using the official charger

I left the charger in the "Meta Quest 2" for about 7 hours

And refresh rate shouldnt matter when its off
