Stylus battery reported as having 1% charge even though fully charged

Dear developers, when using GNOME 42.3 on Wayland on my ASUS ExpertBook B5 Flip, it reports my stylus battery to be stuck at 1% all the time, independent of its actual charging status. This is also independent from the stylus I use, as I've tried with two different ones. The battery device registers as ELAN9008:00 04F3:2E12 in GNOME energy settings. The GNOME developers helped me track the bug down to upower, as upower itself shows the charging status to be stuck at 1%. The upower developers then sent me here. My kernel version is 5.18 on an x86_64 architecture on Fedora 36. My upower version is 0.99.19. Observed behaviour: Kernel reports 1% after pen is switched on and touches the touchscreen for the first time. upower reports this to GNOME which then throws a "Battery low"-warning message. Expected behaviour: Kernel reporting the correct charging percentage from the pen to upower, or 0% if charging status cannot be determined. The latter would be a workaround since 0% seems to be ignored by GNOME. Can you help me to resolve this bug? Thanks in advance!
