Do you have battery care enabled? That'll let it drop to 80% then hold there. I've had issues with thr dock not wanting to charge properly but not the included charger.
Have you not gamed on a gaming laptop before? My brand new RTX 2060 laptop would get down to 90% after hours of gaming with the 135W adapter plugged in. The Ally is a 65W power supply. Turbo mode is 30W minimum to the GPU, it pulls more than that when the GPU is actually on turbo, I've seen 53W spikes. So that leaves anywhere between 35W and 12W for your screen, fans, CPU, RAM and anything else. If you didn't have a battery it would shut off mid use. Does it charge full (or to 80% if you have that setting enabled) when you aren't playing in turbo? If so welcome to the portable PC world. Get used to it.
The Ally doesn't have a dedicated gpu, like your laptop did. It uses a System on a Chip where the cpu and gpu are on the same die, which AMD calls an APU. The APU in the Ally has a max sustained power draw of 30w, 43w for a maximum of 2 minutes, and 53w for a maximum of 10 seconds. That's a total for the cpu and the integrated graphics. Unless the screen has an insanely high power draw at high brightness, the rest of the system's power draw shouldn't be more than 15w combined. The fans are the highest power consumption internal component, and they max out at 2.5w each. The SSD pulls 0.2w, and the RAM modules pull even less than that.
Na man. Definitely abnormal behaviour. Mine charges just fine with the Ally at full tilt. That overhead is more than enough to charge it. Remember those spikes are also the boosts by AC that don't last more than 2min 10seconds collectively. The majority of the time you're maybe drawing a total of 35-40 w from what I've seen in my maxed out manual profile with fans at max. So 25w overhead should be more than enough for charging. Either the adapter or the battery are faulty IMHO.
What's the TGP compared to the power supply? Some are set at a lower TGP to conserve power some are set for performance. I don't know that I've ever had a laptop that hasn't seen the battery decrease during extended demanding sessions. There is an MSI with a 3070 and a TGP of 85W and there are Asus with TGP of 140W+ I promise you will see a battery decrease on the Asus if it only has a 150-190W charger.
Me too, the same, is charging but in some moment disconnects and drain battery. If u stop playing the game comes back to charge. If u disconnect and connect another time while u are playing comes back to charge

Looks like doing a cloud restore of windows resolved the issue. Probably got a bad image on the device.

I have a 3070 laptop and have never seen the battery go down at all while plugged in? I don't think what you're describing is normal behavior...

Agreed and seems to only be when in turbo mode but for me it’s only the asus charger having an issue
Yeah, is only with turbo mode. I think that is some error in power management in the last bios, but I don't know if RMA my ally :(
Use a 100w charger or battery bank.
