Lenovo ThinkPad X270, Ubuntu 20.04, everything worked OK.
Then I installed 22.04.
Now (on adapter) the top panel indicator shows battery at about 70%, not charging. In Power settings: built-in battery at 30%, adapter on, not charging. Swappable battery at 99%, adapter on, not charging.
When I unplug the laptop, top panel indicator tells me the estimated time remaining. In Power settings the built-in battery remains unchanged - 30%, adapter on (green color, lightning bolt), not charging. Swappable battery correctly stops showing the lightning bolt icon and green color.
When I work unplugged, the laptop never shows a low battery warning or in any way reacts to the battery being low. It just turns off out of nowhere. Also it does not wake from suspend when the battery is low. Now I live in constant fear of losing my work and wrecking my batteries (probably already wrecked).

+++ Battery Care
Plugin: thinkpad
Supported features: charge thresholds
Driver usage:
* natacpi (thinkpad_acpi) = active (charge thresholds)
* tpacpi-bat (acpi_call) = inactive (kernel module 'acpi_call' load error)
Parameter value ranges:
* START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0/1: 0(off)..96(default)..99
* STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0/1: 1..100(default)

UPDATE: sudo tlp fullcharge BAT0 does not start charging.
UPDATE: Tried 20.04 live from USB. Internal battery behavior is identical.
UPDATE: Tried pressing the emergency reset button at the bottom of the laptop, it changed nothing. The builtin battery is shown as connected to adapter but not charging all the time. When the laptop was unplugged yesterday, I actually saw the battery level go down a few percent. When it is connected, the level does not seem to go back up. When external battery and adapter is removed, the laptop does not start (if running, dies immediately).
