Battery percentage is not being updated on dashboard

[UsamaKarim]

Describe the bug
The battery percentage isn’t being updated in the dashboard. However, navigating back to the dashboard updates it, but not while I’m on the dashboard itself.

Expected Behavior
Should be updated

I just bought AlDente, noticed the same, and found this issue here on Github.

MacBook info
Macbook model: MacBook Pro, 14", M4 Pro, 24 Gb, Nov 2024
macOS version: Sequoia 15.3.1
Charger model: brick that came with the MacBook
Charging cable: Magsafe that came with the MacBook (don't know if it's 2 or 3, assume the latter)
But note: Magsafe cable is not connected to the MacBook. The MacBook is connected with a 3rd party USB-C cable to an external monitor; the monitor charges the MacBook via this cable too.
AlDente Pro 1.31.3
Screenshots of all settings attached; zipped debug file attached.
External Monitor attached (see above); MacBook used in Clamshell Mode.

Bug description / reproduction steps
When clicking the AlDente menu bar item and then clicking the gear, the Dashboard opens. It shows a battery level percentage about the battery level graph. This level is not updated: when I leave the Dashboard open for a while, and the battery level changes, the change is reflected in the percentage as shown in the menu bar, but the percentage as shown in the dashboard remains at what it was when opening the dashboard. The battery temperature value over the temperature panel isn't updated either. When hovering over the battery level or temperature panels, and moving to the right edge of the panel, the updated current level or temperature can be seen (screenshots attached that show the discrepancy between the value at the right edge of the panels vs the value in the panel header). When moving to another tab (e.g., Schedule or General) and then back to Dashboard, the battery level and temperature values in the panel headers are updated to the current values.

Note: don't know if this is relevant, but I'm currently running a calibration, which I started shortly after installing AlDente yesterday.

Expected behavior
Battery level and temperature values in the panel headers on the Dashboard are updated dynamically and are always in sync with the actual current values.

Screenshots
Note: first screenshot was taken yesterday evening, the other ones this morning, which explains the charging level difference between the first one and the remaining ones.

Incorrect behavior: notice battery level percentage in menu bar (87%) vs in the panel header (84%)

Hovering pointer over right edge of battery level panel: 91% vs 92%

Hovering pointer over right edge of battery temperature panel: 29.3ºC vs 29.2ºC

Thanks. It's absolutely not a serious issue for me, just a minor imperfection.
