upower not refreshing battery status

I'm discovering (the hard way) that upower is not refreshing battery status properly.  I have a post in the upower gitlab with some charts (
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/issues/133 ) that illustrate the issue. I'm anticipating they'll say it's not a upower issue, but rather an integration issue. And so, I'm wondering if it's xfce4-power-manager who's supposed to be responsible for initiating a upower refresh?

To summarize: it looks like only major state change events (charging->full) or (full -> discharging) is triggering a upower refresh.  ACPI seems to report accurately throughout.

The upower documentation is rather cryptic... where/how to dig in?

Thanks!
