Battery icon shows question mark when unfolded and charging

Recently i've been having this weird issue where my Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold will display a question mark over my battery icon, and the settings app will tell me that there was a "Problem reading the battery meter." This seems to happen sometimes when the device is simply unfolded, and especially when i plug it in, and then unfold it, and the issue doesnt seem to go away until i unplug the device and fold it back up, or at least until i fold the device again. From a quick search online it seems this might be a hardware issue, has anyone else had this issue and maybe know a fix for it? For added context, i am currently running GrapheneOS, but the behavior im seeing doesn't really indicate a software bug, especially since i updated the OS lately

That’s a tricky issue — seeing a battery icon with a question mark usually suggests the system can’t properly read the battery’s status. First, try resetting the SMC (on a Mac) or using a battery report tool (on Windows) to get more info. If that doesn’t work, you might need to reseat or replace the battery — sometimes connectors loosen or degrade. If you go the replacement route, looking for a genuine or high-quality OEM battery really helps prevent similar issues in the future.
