Adaptive Charging notification, since its launch in 2020, is just arriving Google Pixel phones – although late, it’s nice the feature is already here.
Further details of Adaptive Charging notification
During the Android 13 Beta cycle last April, sources first noticed this Adaptive Charging notification for Pixel phones in development. There have been multiple instances of it spreading. The screenshot attached(via 9to5google) is comparable to the version that is currently in use. This message is called “Adaptive Charging is on” and is issued by “Android System.”
Google describes how your Pixel phone is charging steadily to improve battery longevity when it will reach 100% charge. You’ll see a button that says “Turn off once.” The previous suggested path was Settings > Battery > Adaptive preferences. This one-time ability is great if you need to wake up sooner than normal or if you need a full charge right away.
Thus yet, there has only been one report of Adaptive charging notification happening. After connecting to your phone, unlocking it, and viewing notifications, the choice will appear (similar to the one for Bedtime Mode). Google did not disclose this feature in the March 2023 Feature Drop, and it is unclear how it will be implemented. It doesn’t seem to be widely available just now.
Android 12 improved Adaptive Charging, allowing phones to get 100% closer to the alarm, but Google appears to have adjusted the active alarm window from 5 to 3 a.m. at some time. “When you charge your phone between 9 PM and 4 AM with an active alarm set for 3-10 AM, your phone may use Adaptive charging. This feature must be turned on for your phone to use it.”
