About this tag
The battery limit tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Microsoft Surface devices where firmware or UEFI updates have affected the ability to cap battery charging. Recent threads focus on Snapdragon X-powered Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 models, where a UEFI bug removed the battery limit toggle and caused charging to stop at around 50 percent. Microsoft acknowledged the issue and later rolled out an update that restored an 80 percent charge limit option in the Surface app, alongside adaptive and full-charge settings. These topics are relevant for Surface owners managing battery health and troubleshooting charging behavior after firmware changes.
