It's happened to me a couple of times that I've noticed -- the Oasis battery had gotten down to sixty or seventy percent even though the cover was close to 100%. Taking it out of the cover and putting it back would fix it.

Once I even got an error message that said I'd connected the Oasis to an unauthorized cover (it was in its own cover). I think I read somewhere that Amazon had said they might considering licensing the technology to one or more third parties that wanted to make covers. I guess they've put in something to prevent anyone from trying to make a charging cover without permission.

One thing I'd like them to make is some sort of mini dock for the cover so I could charge it on its own.
