Ever since the v47 update, my device won't charge past 97%. The light stays orange. I have to hard reset the device and even that isn't guaranteed.
Also, some software shows it's installing, but stays that way until, again, I reboot the device. Why does Oculus have so many issues and why aren't these causght in testing?? Seems to be a standard with Oculus after an update. Frustrating to say the least.

Hi @ChasingGhosts99! We know how it feels having charging issues, and that's never a fun position to be in! We would love to help get this resolved for you. To start, we'd like to go over the best practices to maintain optimal battery life. Here are a couple tips:
Fully power-down the device when it's not in use, rather than just putting it to sleep
Leaving your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest on the charger after it has been fully charged can reduce the overall battery life over time. This is especially true with leaving the device to charge overnight, which will strongly affect the battery life when done regularly
If you aren’t planning to use your headset after charging, power it off after unplugging
Since you've already performed a factory reset, we recommend reaching out to our support team herefor further assistance. We look forward to hearing from you!

I am currently having the same issue. very tempted to get another one if this problem keeps up. I tried factory resets and I know for sure my warranty is up.

Having this issue now in 2023, ever since the new software update came out my headset charges very slowly and won’t go past 97%. It will say it’s 100% but the second I unplug it, it drops back down to 97%. It’s really frustrating and idk what to do.
Hey there! If this issue continues I do recommend getting connected with Meta Store Support! Just send them a PM through the forums. This is not the experience I want our community to have and know how this is taking time away from the VR world.
It's definitely a software/firmware issue.. I've read on different forums, the same thing happening. But really only started after v47. I ended up sending mine in and getting a refurbished. Then, after only having it a few months, it stuck at 97% again! Then, it somehow fixed itself. It's a software issue that Meta refuses to fix.
I purchased the Quest 2, we played it for the first time yesterday and we have yet to get 1 full hour of play before the battery dies. Is this some sort of joke?
