When I plug in my wireless Arlo Pro to charge, I see a plug icon next to the battery in the app. I used to see a percentage or lightning bolt. I can only use the camera while plugged in now. What could have happened or changed?

It could be that the battery has failed. Had you let the camera battery go flat? Best practice is to recharge when it gets below 25%. If it’s completely flat it might take a while for the battery to get to a level that will enable boost charging to begin.
Ensure your using the arlo charger and cable. Unplug and replug charger a few times during the day to kick start. For safety ensure the camera is not close to flammable material when charging.

Yeah. We didn't use the Arlo for a while when we didn't have childcare, so the battery must have gone below 15/25%. I'll work on bringing the battery back to life by unplugging and plugging it in occasionally. Thanks for your feedback!
