Minimum battery requirement for using the EDA sensor

[fjcruzer]

Hey folks,

Just wondering if there is a minimum battery requirement for the sense to use the EDA sensor.  I forgot to charge my sense yesterday and I noticed on my 2 EDA meditation sessions it didn't seem to use the EDA sensor.  My battery was below 60% on the two sessions.  On other sessions where my battery was above 70%, my other sessions would at least tell me 0 EDA responses.

So is there a minimum for the sensor to be active?

Thanks

I'm not aware of a battery minimum requirement. There is a section of the manual where it says what happens if the battery gets low and if there were a limitation with the EDA sensor I would have thought it would listed there. It says:

"Wi-Fi won't work on Sense when the battery is 25% or less, and you'll be unable to
update your device.

If your watch's battery is low (fewer than 24 hours remaining), a red battery
indicator appears on the clock face. If your watch's battery is critically low (fewer
than 4 hours remaining), the battery indicator flashes. When the battery is low:
The screen brightness is set to dim
The vibration strength is set to light
If you’re tracking an exercise with GPS, GPS tracking turns off
Always-on display is turned off
You can't use the voice assistant feature
You can't use quick replies
You can't use music controls
You won't receive notifications from your phone"
