I'm on the current beta stable release, and it's working fine for me.
Be aware that if you're already charged to 100%, and you play primarily plugged in and/or docked, it's going to take a while to work down to the level you set it at.
I do, and I set mine at 85%... it probably took 20 to 25 hours to go from 100% -> 85%. Now it sits consistently between 83% to 85% while plugged in.
Pretty sure it's doing that slow drain on purpose because it's better for long term battery health.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I use an OLED Deck. I also had an LCD Deck, but that was before the arrival of the charge limiting.
It's doing the right thing - most of the harm has been done with the battery being charged up in the first place. If you can pull power from the wall instead of battery, do it. Ordinary usage will chip the battery down to the charge limit in due time.
I have an ASUS laptop which does not do this. When you turn on the battery limit, it stops pulling power from the wall until the battery is down to the right place. Very rude.
