Again 2 hours later of almost no usage at all, it went down to 20%.
So maybe the kernel battery measurement is a bit off?
I've seen this too. What I understand it relates on how the battery behaves under heavy load and how it recovers after idling some time. So maybe it's not a bug but rather a feature and maybe it can not be avoided with the way battery capacity is measured right now.
