Noticed today my right AirPod is staying at 80% while the left was 100%

The one at 80 still shows the charging icon

Gen 3 AirPods

Yep, my gen 3 do this pretty regularly and - not uncommon to see one AirPod at 80 while the other is at 100, lol. It's pretty good at knowing when I use them and even if I use them out of schedule, the optimized charging stays on. Wish iPhone was more like that :p.

Yeah, my biggest complaint about AirPods is this... sometimes you go to put them in the case and it won't recognize it and they'll drain to 0 - then when you go to use them one is dead. This happened with my AirPods 1s, 2s, Pros, and 3s - no matter how hard I tried to prevent it (tapping them in the case, etc). Though it happens the least with my 3s vs previous ones. I have gotten in the habit of tapping them on my desk once they're in the case - and putting a q-tip in the case to keep it clean.

You're absolutely right - does charge up super fast.
