“Battery Limit” mode has been removed from the UEFI on my Surface Pro (11th edition) and it still only charges up to 50 %. It seems last week there was an update (firmware update?) and the system still seems to be enforcing the 50 % limit automatically based on firmware behavior—even without a visible toggle.
I downloaded the firmeware, but this did not help: Download Surface Pro 11th Edition Drivers and Firmware from Official Microsoft Download Center
Can anyone help?

Gregg 5 Reputation points2025-08-10T16:15:36.9833333+00:00 I am experiencing this problem too.
2 months ago, I booted to the UEFI and turned on the "Enable Battery Limit".
Now, I am planning a trip and would like a full charge before leaving.
Booting to the UEFI, the "Enable Battery Limit" toggle is not available. I cannot change from the 50% limit.
I ran the battery report suggested by John Carl Nazario, but I did not find any information to help with this problem. The report showed charging to the 50% limit.
The UEFI does not have the "Enable Battery Limit" toggle after the recent firmware update.

Hi Barb! It is SP11. I will try to find the feedback hub app.
Windows version 10.0.26100 Build 26100
Also, I downloaded the latest drivers & BIOS file (from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=106119) and installed it. From System Configuration, I see BIOS 175.126.235, 6/13/2025. Booting to UEFI, I do not see the "Enable Battery Limit" toggle.

DR 5 Reputation points2025-08-10T22:10:04.2733333+00:00 I have the same issue. I toggled in July 20, 2025, the option to have the Battery Charged to 50% during 15 days. After the very last Firmware Update, introduced in my Surface Pro 11th in August 3, 2025, I cannot find anymore the toggled button to void the Battery Limit. I guess the last Firmware Update may be the cause and not a "Surface Enterprise Management Mode (SEMM)".
Do we have any option to remove the last Firmware Update or to access in any other way the Battery Limit Option?

John Carl Nazario 710 Reputation points Independent Advisor2025-08-11T14:00:53.1+00:00 Hi Gregg
Here's how to get the link from feedback hub
Open the Feedback Hub app on your computer (you can search for it in the Start menu). Make sure you're signed in with your Microsoft account so your feedback is saved. On the left side of the app, click on “Feedback”, then go to “My feedback” to see what you've submitted. Find the specific feedback you want to share and click on it. At the top of that page, you’ll see a “Share” button click it, and a small window will pop up with a link. Just hit “Copy link”, and you can paste it anywhere you want, like in a message or email.

Guillaume SPONY 0 Reputation points2025-08-11T15:17:20.35+00:00 I tried the SEMM way but I didn't manage to remove the limit.
I have enrolled my laptop to SEMM and apply msi patched, but nothing changed.
Also I tried to reset with surface factory image with an usb drive with no results expect loosing all my data.-
