Hey there thebeknazar,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. So we understand the questions fully, are you asking if it's expected to be able to see the AirPods in the battery widget while in the AirPods Charging Case and not in use?
If so, we do want to let you know that this would be expected behavior.
You can learn more about checking the charge on your AirPods, as well as see an example at this link here under the "Check the battery percentage" section: Charge your AirPods and learn about battery life - Apple Support
If having a different issue with your AirPods, provide us with a few more details, and we'll continue from there.
Have a great day!
