This pull request lowers the required AC charger power to get the higher SoC power limits on chargers that are almost 100W.
I and most likely a decent chunk of Framework 16 users use a Caldigit TS4 dock which unfortunately does not provide the full 100W required to get the higher power limits, but instead exposes itself as a 20V 4.9A charger (98W) as can be seen from the output of
ectool console
:I have initially wanted to drop this limit down to 98W, but there are other chargers like the Apple 96W USB-C charger and it would also benefit the users of those to drop this threshold down to 96W so that performance is not limited while plugged into these near 100W chargers.
I have already tested this change on my non-dGPU FW16 and it has been working flawlessly.
