Did you check that your issue is not already reported?

• I opened the issues tab
• I used the search bar to check if the issue was already reported
• [x ] There is no issue that reports what I observed

What is the issue? (required)
The macbook is plugged in and under the limit, but is not charging. After closing the app and restarting (also disabling open at login ofc) macbook starts to charge, stops when i open the app, even tho it misses more than 20%. until the limit. When i try command battery charge [number], the command gets stuck after 23 lines and freezes, until i cancel the action.

What exactly did you do to produce the issue? (required)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. battery app is open at login, battery is at 66%, limit is set to 85
2. plugged the computer to charger, nothing happened
3. tried turning both charging and adapter on, but nothing happened (they did turn on, but the battery was still not charging)
4. tried command battery charge 85, but it did nothing and freezed

Expected behavior (required)
charges autoamitcly if under the set treshold
reacts to the command charge
