I've just installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS which was working fine but after the update the charging status is not showing. The battery status shows Not Charging though its connected and charging. The health is frozen at 99% while the power is connected. I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone help? screenshot of battery panel area

As commented by Will,Even though the charger is powered and plugged-in, some system disconnects the battery from the charger when it is reached 100% and it will reconnect charger somewhere between 95-98%(depends on the manufacturer) to maximise battery lifespan. When the charger disconnects upower will report as either discharging or charge-pending and since the battery icon (battery status indicator) rely on upower it will change icon to discharging.(even though charger is plugged)

If your laptop supports battery charging threshold, you can install gnome extension Battery Health Charging to set charging threshold, but reason I am mentioning it, is because in the settings if has a feature Change battery indicator icon behavior when enabled, the battery indicator icon displays the status of charger connected (plugged in or not) rather than status of battery(discharging or not), so now you can know if charger is plugged or not.
