    Probably battery life, specifically that 15% means “you have 5 minutes left”.

    I’m assuming that unless this is some kind of 3D gaming thing, that you can’t deplete your battery from full in 33 minutes. So I’m guessing that the battery estimation is just off, reads a higher percentage remaining than it should at that point.

    There are some power monitor software packages other than the built-in one that can do their own prediction that might be more-accurate. I have BatteryBot on my phone, and I’d bet that there are others out there.

      Yes, it’s specifically the estimation. It takes like 1 hour to go from 100 to 90 and mere minutes from 15 to 0. Given that I only charge to 80% to protect the battery, it feels like only having 65% of battery usable.
