The issue has arisen because the percentage charge remaining figure has
been removed from the menu, and the remaining time displayed now is only
a rough estimate based on the current charge of the battery and the
unreliable discharge rate.

In your case, the discharge rate is very wrong (0.0072 W), and upower
has a heuristic to detect when the hardware isn't working (which is
triggered in your case). In this case, the only measurement possible is
the percentage charge remaining, which we don't display anymore.

The numbers indicated by your hardware currently suggest you have 6368
hours of charge remaining, which is clearly wrong.
