charge-stop sets the battery charge threshold of a laptop: the percentage above which charging stops. Keeping the threshold below 100% extends battery lifespan for laptops that spend most of their time plugged in.
The daemon (charge-stopd) manages the sysfs attribute directly and persists the setting so it survives reboots and suspend; firmware on many laptops resets the threshold across these events. A companion CLI (charge-stop) talks to the daemon over a UNIX domain socket, speaking a small REST API:
GET /v1/threshold report the current threshold POST /v1/threshold set and persist the threshold POST /v1/restore re-apply the persisted threshold
