The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.
There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.
It's time to recharge when plugging in the power source
I find it very useful that the HoloLens tells you when the battery gets low and it says "It's time to recharge, you have xx minutes of battery left".
However, when I plug in the power source, it tells me again with a slightly different text:
"It's time to recharge, you have xx percent of battery left".
Especially the first part is redundant and annoying, I think.
Is this planned to be changed?

I think the reason for this is because HoloLens still consumes battery faster than it charges. So even when connected to a power source, you're still draining your HoloLens, just more slowly. In that case warning comes under a certain charge threshold regardless of whether or not you're connected. Cheers
