Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): 1748033199

Steam Logs: steam-logs.tar.gz

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Even though steamos-manager is not wired up for battery charge limit on Legion Go S yet, the toggle for it is still exposed as if it were. This happens on my MSI Claw and ROG Ally as well.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Boot up an unsupported device on SteamOS
Go to Settings -> Power

Battery charging limit should not appear as toggle-able unless the charge limit is truly supported.

Via dbus, steamos-manager confirms this:

~ deck@msi-claw8-a2vm
❯ steamosctl get-max-charge-level
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownInterface: Unknown interface 'com.steampowered.SteamOSManager1.BatteryChargeLimit1'

80% charge limit is preserved if you enable it in Windows and boot back into SteamOS but obviously this isn't ideal.
