Windows 10: Lenovo Thinkpad Windows 10 Battery Not Charging, 255% when plugged in

Just started having this issue a few days ago which is obviously a bad time since with lockdown I very much need a working laptop right now. For some reason my laptop has been on and off unable to detect my battery. When this happens the icon when it's not plugged in is empty, and it will say "Unknown remaining". When it's plugged in it will either say "255% available" or "Plugged in", and when I click on it will say it's Fully Charged. However often when I unplug my laptop it will die as if it is on low battery. I have already tried:

• uninstalling and reinstalling battery drivers
• restarting my laptop
• running power troubleshooting

This has happened twice before in the past week, in both instances after using a program that uses a lot of battery life Zoom and then putting my laptop to sleep. Both times I've managed to solve it by installing updates that were waiting to be installed, but that clearly was not a permanent fix. I ran a battery report and this is what it says:





And this is what it shows for battery activity at the times where I was having this problem.





Obviously I did not change the battery so I have no idea what the issue is. I bought this laptop in January brand new so to have this issue right now is very frustrating. Any help appreciated!
