I guess in my case the batteries may have had enough to signal they were functional, but they were effectively dead and had no UPS backup sustaining power. One battery had started to buldge its container. I can see it as being an as designed feature, that way they never let you down in a powerfailure event, as you get advanced notice that the battery is no longer working LOL. Had a corporation go down a few years ago, they had not replaced UPS batteries, when power wentout all UPS batteries were dead and couldn't sustain the servers until backup generator came online.
My CyberPower is 14 years old now still working fine, just needed battery swap at 10 year mark.
Haven't had this happen. Battery pack failed after 10 years. Unit still provided mains AC through battery backup plugs. There is a switcher inside to flip between mains and battery...maybe that was going bad in what you describe.

As an anecdote (and not statistics) I have distro upgraded OpenSUSE with 5000 packages to install (thanks TeXlive LaTeX). It was fine.
GNOME caches and prefetches everything it may need. Where as KDE will fetch as needed. If you run a memory tool that shows actual memory being used vs Cache, you will see most is cache.
I have a 14 year old laptop with celeron processor, KDE and XFCE were performing badly, GNOME runs great. My assumption is with all the prefetch the old/slow system CPU/board has what it needs to perform as expected.
