Battery was 98% yesterday now it's 100% on 18.23 rise instead of dropping

So on Monday night I did charge the watch to 100% ( this was the first full charge on 18.23) yesterday did some rowing activity on Rowerg (16km = 1 hour and 8 minutes) and battery dropped to 99% and did some walking 16,897 steps dropped to 98%, before I went sleeping still 98% ( I don't wear the watch in sleep) so this morning I as looking at the watch and could not believe my eyes 100% battery strange

Right now I did a hard reset press power button 30 sec and the power back on. for the moment still 100%....

Today I will go for a run 21km and see how it is....

Software 18.23 sure it's buggy

similar to me I think :

Happened again full charge on Monday then dropped normal until 97% today, did a 21km run today ( usually on same route watch consume 5% in almost 2 hours) yes 5% was drained so it was 92% ...after remove the watch from the wrist after 10 min it was 95% definitely a bug that need to be fixed

Garmin-Sierra could you help me on this ?

I have a feeling that the gauge recalibrates from time to time after charging to 100% or after software update. IMHO nothing to worry about…

I have never seen this issue ever in a watch Garmin...so I think it's a bug that needs to be fixed

I have had similar battery issues on my FR965, although I'm not convinced it's an issue with the battery but possibly an issue with the SoC indicator. For example, I can put my watch on the charger for 15 minutes, some times the SoC will show +5%, and other times it will show +10%, and other times it will show +1%. This is happening on a regular basis. When I first noticed this issue, I thought maybe it was an issue with my charger. During once such incident, I unplugged my charger, examined the connector, and then plugged the watch into the charger again. The SoC immediately dropped 5%. This feels like a bug with the SoC indicator on the watch as I've never ran out of battery, even when going days between charges while using the watch to track activities.

it happens after the software 18.23 ? the issue on my end it's after a full charge once....

Garmin-Sierra could you please add this fix to the next firmware ?
