Speaking of the battery I read somewhere I should let it drain fully for reset it, do you know more about this ?
Under no circumatances should you do that to a Lithium battery. That’s a relic from NiMH battery era and was done for specific reasons you can find online.
Fully draining your Lithium battery will shorten its lifespan. Many new devices have a way to even limit the max charge and keep the battery in the optimal 60-80% range.
That's what I read then : https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/x7a2dd/followed_the_guides_on_how_to_recalibrate_the/
I can't say that this wouldn't help in some extreme buggy scenarios where the battery mgmt is not able to report / read the current actual battery status, but it would be the last thing I would try and do to resolve such issues.
EDIT: reading through the comments in the thread you linked, even OP recognizes that it did pretty much nothing but corrected a visual bug on the % of battery available.
