Or… just report whichever one is lower, which is the value 99% of people care about 99% of The time.

I often use just one of them, and then I want to know that one‘s battery.

If you're only using one, it seems fine to have only one battery level report. I don't see the problem

No, in that case they'd want both to be reported separately so they could use the AirPod with the higher charge.

whichever one you're using will be reporting its battery level. if you want to know the other one, swap them around.

I use mine in meetings and often end up in a situation where I need to remove and charge the one which is about to go flat for a few minutes.

I need to know individual levels to do that

Which is solved by the suggestion of 'only reporting the lower of the two', right? The one with more battery isn't about to go flat...
