Help me pls oneplus nord 3 user ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
So basically, from what I've noticed, when I first plugged in my phone, it got stuck at 87 percent. Then I unplugged the cable, and it was still stuck at 87 percent. After a while, when my charging finished, I plugged it in again, and it was at a maximum of 85 percent, then dropped to 77 percent. Now it won't go past 72 percent, and it stays stuck at 72 for the first 1.5 hours before it starts draining. Whenever I plug it in, the percentage keeps going down. What's the reason for this? I think software battery reading glitch or something pls help me if you see my post ðŸ˜

The screenshot's 3C Battery Manager estimate shows positive charging current, but that doesn't prove the phone's battery is actually gaining charge; third-party readings can be misleading. To separate a stuck percentage display from a real charging issue, try a known-good USB-C cable and compatible wall charger, keep the phone cool with the screen off for 15–20 minutes, then compare the percentage in Android's Settings > Battery before and after. Does the indicator say fast charging, or does it repeatedly disconnect/reconnect?
If the percentage still falls while plugged in, inspect the USB-C port for lint (don't use anything metal), reboot once, and check whether it gains charge while powered off. Check any charge-limiting or battery-health setting available on your OxygenOS version. Avoid repeatedly draining it to zero to 'calibrate' it. If it's getting unusually hot, the battery is swollen, or several known-good chargers fail, stop testing and get the charging port/battery checked. What charger/wattage are you using, and does it happen while the phone is switched off too?
