A fairly large number of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco users have been complaining for months that after they upgraded their device to HyperOS 2 once again, it became noticeably slower to charge.
Moreover, the largest number of complaints about slow charging after the “upgrade” of HyperOS 2 comes from owners of different smartphone models of the Redmi Note 13 family and the best-selling Poco X6 Pro.
Poco X6 Pro 5G. After the update, it took a long time to charge. What is the reason? Does anyone have the same problem?
Moreover, in the latter case, this is accompanied by strong heating and an unusually high discharge of the battery.

Hello! I have a Poco X6 Pro with HyperOS 2, can you tell me why it took so long to charge? What could it be? And he also began to discharge rapidly.
It is worth noting that some applications were even officially confirmed by Xiaomi in its weekly “HyperOS Optimization Report” dated March 16, 2025.:

What should I do if Xiaomi is charging slowly?
In the event that your Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco has become slower to charge after receiving the latest HyperOS 2 firmware, there are no special ways that will really solve the problem, but there are recommendations that, judging by the reviews, help some users.
Wait
Strangely enough, many experts, including moderators of the global Mi Community, suggest simply waiting 3-5 days for the new HyperOS 2 firmware to “settle down” and “self-optimize.” This advice makes sense, as major HyperOS updates do have this property.
Full firmware version
It is also strongly recommended to install full firmware on your Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco (instructions) – judging by the owners’ reviews, this helps many.
As of March 20, Xiaomi has already confirmed the problem and said that the company’s engineers are working to fix it. However, no specific dates for the release of the update with the correction were announced.
