Several Japanese gamers have reported a really frightening bug that they are experiencing on their Nintendo Switch.

According to these gamers, the Nintendo Switch battery drains at a shocking speed while playing on Handheld Mode. Twitter user masuku0yukke recorded the bug happening in action – one percent of battery life was consumed every second while doing nothing.

If masukuoyukke’s experience was “shocking”, what Twitter user suterairo encountered would be “terrifying”. The battery was dropping by a whopping ten percent every one to two seconds.

So what’s the best way to fix this bug? Some users say it’s an issue with the battery indicator and not the actual battery itself, and turning off the battery indicator and turning back it on could fix the issue.
