One Pod of my Pros only charges to 90% since Firmware Update

[Gator5000e]

Since the update yesterday, one of the Pods for my Air Pod Pro is only charging to 90%. It's been on the charger overnight. No change in the battery level. I've unpaired and repaired the Pods and did what I guess was a reset. Did not work.

Something is wrong, obviously. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, has anyone figured out how to fix it, if it needs fixing?

Does it tell you anything about "Optimized Charging" in the dialog that opens when you have them in the case and open them next to the iPhone? That is by design to extend battery life, if you charge you Pods before they are fully discharged.

I've always wondered how updates are handled re: AirPods. I got all updates disabled for apps and the OS, but I have no idea how they're done on AirPods. I want to avoid them for many of the complaints I read here--does it do it automagically or only when connected to wifi or does one have to manually do it? Just curious.
