Windows 10: Battery is stuck at 100%

My battery has been stuck at 100% for the past 2 days. It has always indicated it is at 100% even though I am not charging it and I have been using it for hours. I tried restarting my laptop and it did nothing. I also tried plugging in the charger but it didn't fix the issue either.For context I use my laptop for around 4 hours a day and it hasn't lost a single percent since the day it was stuck. My laptop hasn't died yet, and I'm not sure if it will soon.

HP ProBook Battery Stuck on 100%

My HP ProBook is set in the BIOS to charge to no more than 80%. I recently updated the BIOS. Since then the battery charged to 100% instead of stopping at 80% and Windows reports the battery charge is now stuck on 100% with the charger disconnected. Any idea what's wrong here? I might go back to the previous BIOS version in case that is the source of the error.
