It says computing will resume when battery charge reaches higher than maximum or lower than current charge. For example, I set mine to 35% and often it says it will resume for example at 90% (above maximum my device is set to charge to). Other times the charge is about 85% but it says it'll resume for example at 35%. BOINC developers are incorrectly closing all the issues related to this on GitHub. It has been happening since years ago and still on BOINC 8.2.8. There are more & more & more threads on this because they haven't fixed it but old threads problematically get locked. I will post as many threads/issues as it takes for this to get worked on.

I also meant it was already above the minimum required to compute at, but it incorrectly wanted it higher than that, including sometimes (not always) above maximum allowed by device. Originally in my new (quickly closed) issue I said above minimum but forgot to clarify the battery was already well above minimum.

You are much more likely to get a response by opening an account with git-hub and posting there. Most of the developers never read these forums so, "as many as it takes" could be a very large number.

It's a known problem and is supposed to be fixed in the next release BOINC Git issue #6606:
client (Android): fix battery check logic #6606
