I pulled my AirPods from its case and saw the left one was at 86% while the right one is fully charged at 100%. After using both AirPods for over an hour, my left AirPod was still at 86% while my right AirPod correctly went from 100% to 88%. This indicates that the battery percentage for my left AirPod is stuck, it doesn't charge up or down.
