Battery metrics flash then disappear about tmux-battery HOT 4 CLOSED

That's unusual, never had this one.
Care to link or paste the content of your .tmux.conf?

Also, what is the output of tmux show -g status-right?

from tmux-battery.

So I can reproduce with an absolute bare minimum tmux.conf:

set -g @tpm_plugins "              \
  tmux-plugins/tmux-battery        \
"

run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm
set-option -g status-right "#[fg=yellow][ #{battery_percentage} #{battery_remain}] [ %a %d-%h %H:%M ]"

If I run :show -g status-right it outputs:
status-right "#[fg=yellow][ #{battery_percentage} #{battery_remain}] [ %a %d-%h %H:%M ]"

I'm running tmux 2.0 under Terminal in Yosemite (although I use iTerm2 day to day, where its also reproducible).

Hey,
the above won't work .. run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm line should be the absolute last line in .tmux.conf.

Try setting status-right first, and leaving plugin definition and initialization last:

set-option -g status-right "#[fg=yellow][ #{battery_percentage} #{battery_remain}] [ %a %d-%h %H:%M ]"

set -g @tpm_plugins "              \
  tmux-plugins/tmux-battery        \
"
run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm

Huh, that has indeed fixed - thanks!
I find that very odd, I'd presume the tmux config was sequential and that you couldn't use plugins until they were defined. Oh well, lesson learnt - thanks again!
