Optimized battery charging not working for Apple Watch Ultra 2

Hey guys,


I recently got the Apple Watch Ultra 2 a month ago and I have been noticing some issues on the watch in terms of charging. So initially after 2 weeks or so I saw that the watch was showing me the optimized battery charging setting getting into action where you can see a ring that is halfway closed at the 80% level when you connect the watch for charging. I was happy to see that for like twice overall (when I charge) and then I never saw that again. Now I tried all the options here from reaching out to Apple support where they asked me to turn on/off the feature, reset and all sorts of things but still it never fixed the issue and they gave up after doing multiple tests. Now I am really annoyed at this point from having to check on the watch constantly before it turns past 80% and I have to manually turn it off. It's not the thing about charging it to 100 but for me I regularly use the watch where I use the same brick, with same time and same location and basically at this point I made everything easy for the watch to learn all my charging habits but the setting won't just work. Now my fellow Apple Watch Ultra 2 people, do y'all have similar issue and if so did y'all find a way to get this fixed. Now I tried every single option on what I could find in the internet but this issue is not spoke anywhere on the internet much or has too much recognition to it. If y'all face the same issue comment down below.

Did you already have a look at this related discussion?

What triggers the optimized charge limit … - Apple Community


I have Optimized Charging enabled on my Ultra 2, but since I'm only charging the watch twice a week up to 100%, the watch never used the 80% charging limit.

I guess you don't use it on everyday basis? And yes I did.


I also have a series 10 where if I only used 10% of the battery and put them on charge, it still charges up to 80% and holds there. I am surprised that I am not able to see this behavior on Ultra 2 even though the charging time is same and the location too.
