As per the title. Has been stuck charging on 33% for 1.5 hours.
What is the charger?
For my Chestnut I have to shutdown the phone when I charge using PC usb port to phone ( low amp ).

I found that my generic usb A charger with an A to C cable barely keeps the percentage the same when powered on. I haven’t really used the librem charger much. Most of my chargers are 65W+ Type C PD laptop chargers and with that there are no charging speed issues.

Check if you have all the firmware and software updated on your librem phone(L5), if yes it will be autofixed on each that you recharger the L5. Examples: now your Librem show 33% of battery but i guess it has 100% so get spend the battery until shutdown then recharger your phone with the original charger of the device, then i guess it will be fixed or almost fixed, if it is almost fixed like 95% or 98% then discharger the battery again to 0 then recharger the Librem 5 with the original charger and now i guess it will 100% calibrated.
Enjoy!

I think I had this issue earlier today, while charging it seemed to get stuck at exactly 33%. That was on PureOS byzantium. Then I reflashed with amber and then it could charge higher than 33% so I thought it might be an issue on byzantium but not on amber. Then I reflashed with byzantium again and let the change drop down to 25% and then started charging again to see if it would again get stuck at 33% but this time there was no problem, it’s up at 42% now and still increasing.
So I just saw the issue with being stuck at 33% once and can’t seem to reproduce it.
Are you using byzantium or amber?
You can use the “upower -d” command to get some info about the battery, percentage as well as temperature and voltage and things like that, and also a “state” that can be “charging” or “discharging”.
If you want to try something to make the issue go away, I would suggest powering off and letting it charge for a while when it is powered off, maybe then it will move away from whatever strange state it got into.
Edit: Now that I think about it I did have it running compiling some big things right before it seemed to get stuck at 33% so it could be something related to the temperature. Maybe when it’s warm it tries to be careful with the charging to avoid getting even warmer. That could explain why I failed to reproduce the issue, maybe it had cooled down a bit and then the issue went away. Just a theory.
When experiencing issues like that, please attach the output of this command:
gthcli && tail -n+0 /sys/class/power_supply/*/uevent
Also, please report the state of the red LED (whether it’s on/blinking/off).
FWIW, no recent changes around charging come into my mind.
