HP Spectre x360 - 13-4014tu
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have my HP Spectre 13 x360 for almost 6 years and today I encountered an issue which is the battery percentage not going up even though it's plugged in. Though when I unplug it, the battery percentage goes down and I'm scared that it will not turn on anymore if I let it go down to 0% that's why I just kept it plugged in. I tried powering it off then do a component test on the battery, but whenever I try clicking the calibrate option, it always say "Automated Battery Calibration is not supported on this system". Is there any way I can fix this?
