I'd rather have the percentage on and with slightly larger digits, because at more than a feet away from the phone screen hard to tell how much battery charge is left without the percentage.

I have the number off because the number gets really distracting to me. If I need to know the number I'll pull down the control center or whatever it's called. It's rare that the actual number is required though. You'll know when it's under half, and when it hits 20.
Looking at the bar right now for example I can tell that it's gone past its 80% charging limit for whatever reason.

Number on
I wish the number was clearly visible. That’s all I want. The numbers are usually too hard to see for me.

I stopped checking how much battery is left like 10 years ago. I charge every night and thats it. If it gets critically low it notifies my another way.

Number on and icon completely off.
It depends on what kind of user you are. The ones that charge their phone whenever near a charger don't need a number. The ones who only charge when the phone threatens to shut down absolutely need the number.

Nunber gang. That said it doesn't change a lot for me. If I had a bar and it looked half full I'd be charging same as if the nunber read 55%
On because of accuracy and its the default
That's Numberwang
I'm gonna make a thread asking, "what is a food you know?" so everyone can reply "homt dog" and I can get lots of notifications
I like to eat homt dogs on my skamtebord.

Am a numbers guy, I know you like da number
I remember when I switched from a Samsung phone to one of the first pixel phones years ago and being so angry that it did not have an option to add the number. I think the only way back then ended up being in the developer options. That phone somehow just ended up getting into a boot loop only like 4 months after getting it and they didnt respect the warranty. It was provided by work so I didnt care that much since no real loss to me, but ill never forget that impression it left on me and ill never get another pixel or google phone ever again.
