I am legit curious in a technical way as to what causes this issue. Actual UX designers feel free to nerd out and tell me how this works.

It’s probably some critical bug in SpringBoard’s battery state where the icon’s reading stale / corrupted data from the BatteryUI framwork. The percentage text correctly accessed the real-time battery API, and the icon refreshes in larger intervals (5%-10% changes) so there’s slightly different render pipelines. I’m assuming this is iOS 26 beta which Apple’s already patched to correct a state battery state issue. Not an expert and I’m just guessing.
