KDE Plasma 5.12 battery indicator doesn't update charging status

Hi guys.
I'm using KDE Plasma 5.12.
The battery indicator doesn't update if it's charging or not.
When I charge on boot, it says it's charging although I stop charging.
Also, when I don't charge on boot, it says it's discharging although I start charging.
So I updated acpi and upower by "pacman -Sy acpi upower", it doesn't work.
What's the problem and how can I fix this?

Which laptop model?

FWIW what's the output of

acpi -V

in [ code ] tags?

Never pacman -Sy things, it leads to partial upgrades which can break things.
