Just checked again and found that the charge level is
updated now, but only every 30s. (The code in acpibat_refresh()
suggests that cached values are kept only for 5s, and I
believe that is how it did behave formerly.)

I definitely watched the battery state for a couple of
minutes yesterday, so something else must have happened.

Looking at acpibat_refresh()... the 5-seconds check uses
microtime() which is not necessarily monotonic. And, iirc,
I had booted Windows before, which sets the RTC to GMT+1,
so I had to force the clock back by a manual "ntpdate".
This might have killed status updating.
Well, just a hypothesis, but I'd suggest to use
getmicrouptime() for these checks.

best regards
Matthias
