Recently, a [Reddit user](https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/rq7og2/recent_slow_charging_pixel_6_pro/?%24deep_link=true&correlation_id=1446af3d-b155-408a-a262-bae51512d3bf&post_fullname=t3_rq7og2&post_index=1&ref=email_digest&ref_campaign=email_digest&ref_source=email&utm_content=post_body&%243p=e_as&_branch_match_id=729509152322442894&utm_medium=Email%20Amazon%20SES&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA22P0U7EIBBFv6a%2BdddCW43JxpgYffUPJlOYdomUQaDp%2BvcOrvtmAsnl3Nw7w7mUmJ%2BOx0TWunLAGA%2Fehc%2Bjjs%2BN6nU8EWC%2BE8nJLS6ghy3507mmGv3SqDc5%2B74f%2FvKGVwFJ7jvz4unDXcjLS%2FhKoeRqfj3woqogIwiy5x3MGZPULxBrAEaIiWu5lv7eEkWoWzX6taSNGjUaTok8FscBnBXe9f2Is7bt1A1D298%2FYotqVO2ENHRDp6yeZslFzgXmzfuAK9U6Dbd9rp4Lli61T0CiWRSt6DxYt1AuVwgG14huCf%2B7mbdk6OYJ3MoKhkOR3wr9HTOx%2Ff4BFP8VrnsBAAA%3D), [PhoneArena](https://www.phonearena.com/news/5g-pixel-6-pro-users-say-their-phone-charges-too-slowly_id137467) shared his experience with the Google Pixel Pro in a post, in which he asked other Pixel users if their new smartphones are also facing this bug that leads the battery to charge slowly.

The user said that the Pixel 6 Pro charged at a snail’s pace and he even attempted to restart the device. Although, neither restarting the phone nor changing chargers help.

For those unaware, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is powered by a 5,003mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging.

Once this user posted this qualm, other users joined this thread and echoed the same sentiments. One user said that his [Google Pixel 6](https://technosports.co.in/?s=google+pixel+6+) took 3 hours to charge from 23% to 100% while another said that his Google Pixel 6 Pro went from 10% to 50% in one hour.

The common denominator amongst most of the Reddit users was that all of them noticed that when their devices charged to a point of 80%, from that point onwards, it slows down all the way to 100%.

However, Google actually meant to do this and this is not just a bug.

A feature called Adaptive Charging is believed to be the culprit behind what the users are considering to be a bug.

![Google Pixel 6 Pro renders shows amazing design and looks](https://images.technosports.co.in/2021/05/SAVE_20210521_183255.jpg)

This feature uses AI and Machine Learning to determine the time that a user plugs their Google Pixel 6 Pro out of their chargers every day.

Adaptive Charging is basically to help keep the battery of the smartphone in good health. Charging speeds usually drop around 80% while computing how fast it needs to charge 100% before the device is unplugged.

In other words, users can disable the feature in Settings, although, your battery life may deteriorate faster in the long run.
