IMO that's not how it should work and it's not mentioned anywhere either.
Sorry, but how else would it work? The cover is there to keep the device charged. If you take the device out, use it for a while, then put it back in, then you want the battery in the device charged for the next time you use it without the cover. Charging the device from the cover only when the device has run out means you will frequently get to the point where you can't use the device by itself.

This just fits with what happens when you plug the device into a charger, or a powerbank. It charges. It doesn't wait until the battery level has almost run out, it starts immediately as soon as the charger is detected. The PowerCover is just a charger and is working exactly the same way as using a powerbank, except that it is more integrated with the device it is charging.
