The 10 watt to 15w was a few cents in cost savings. To most users this is a non issue, to some they are overthinking it.

For vr i really can't really play past 2 hrs just from comfort standpoint. So just wait for bit and they will start optimizing the quest 2 for real world usage.

My headset does not stay charged on the elite battery strap either....
Both the headset and external battery drop, at uneven rates as well.... but the headset is always at a lower battery level. Especially after about 1 hour of game play, installing games, and playing with settings without any removal of the headset from my face.
I do agree the battery drop is much less with the headset connected to the Link cable, or the elite battery strap, but neither of them keep the headset at 100%, or even above 80%.

I've read some comments on Reddit that once the Quest battery is down to 78%, the charging circuit kicks in at a higher rate and the battery charge stops dropping, but it doesn't gain charge. In my testing last night on Link and today with my powerbank, I was above 80% the whole time. It will be interesting to see what happens with longer play sessions.

But I started at 81% and dropped to 69%? I’ll try some more over the weekend too from fully charged for longer session and see what happens then.

I wonder if that wording is misleading and needs one word added.... strap battery gets used up before the internal battery get used up. So they both drain but strap runs out first.
Maybe it's a result of tests to limit overcooking the internal battery. Putting a limit on the charge in order to extend the life... or reduces risk of overheating.
I assume this isn't an issue when using Link to run PCVR? has that been mentioned already? I haven't read the whole thread.
