App appears non-functional, no battery draining nor Commands

Not sure what to do at this point-- obviously, the app was working great before macOS 26, but since upgrading it appears not to be doing much of anything. The only functional command seems to be to disable the power adapter. Otherwise, the automated battery discharge/ charge functionality isn't taking effect, and when I launch the app from the Applications folder, the Commands section on the Menu bar has minimal functionality:

Is this an issue with permissions or daemons perhaps? When I run the uninstall.sh file as an executable it is unable to locate any files in the Library directory.

EDIT: Also, you likely see from the screenshot that it describes charging as "On Hold," but it's not. Light is still green and the power state is synced in the settings.

Interesting… is this 1.8? There indeed are (Apple) bugs regarding the daemon on OS upgrades. Try a full uninstall: #150 (comment)

[stuffdisliker]

Yes, this is 1.8. I've tried the full uninstall a few times before I posted.

All of the commands seem to execute normally except for these two, which report files not found:

/Library/LaunchDaemons/me.mhaeuser.batterytoolkitd.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/me.mhaeuser.batterytoolkitd

That is normal, because these files are legacy (iirc pre-Ventura?).

I just realized that the reason you get no charging commands is that the battery is full (green light) - I somehow believed this was an issue with SMC communication. Well, in this case, I am not sure what you mean with "battery draining", because disabling the power adapter is the only action that will do this, and you said it indeed does work.

In case there is a misunderstand (because I regularly get tickets about this), Battery Toolkit will never drain down to the upper threshold on its own (you need to disable the power adapter or unplug) and it will never alternate between lower and higher threshold (constantly charging and discharging).
