experience: pinephone keyboard drains pp battery faster?
#2
Unfortunately your keyboard's charging circuit has probably died. It's happened to quite a few of us if you look around the forum: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16271

To test or fix the hardware you'd need to be good with a multimeter and soldering iron. I'd been thinking about buying a small charge controller circuit to try and repair mine but I don't have the time at the moment.

As my keyboard is definitely broken, I admit I now do charge through the phone's USB-C port, but do that at your own risk and I wouldn't leave it unsupervised in case the keyboard circuit overheats. My keyboard battery never charges up anymore but it still works as a keyboard when the phone is charged.
