Battery charging indicator always shows charging even when not

I have a 2024 16" MBP with the M4 Pro chip running MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1


My battery icon in the top of the display always shows that it's charging even when the mag-charger cable is not connected. I've tried shutting down, waiting 10 seconds and starting up again; I've tried restarting. I cannot get this to work correctly.


How do I resolve this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.6
