While charging the flashlight turns on but it's dim

I put my xperia xz on charge and I noticed that the flashlight was on but really dim. I looked at my settings alnd it said the flashlight was off and when I stop charging the phone the light turns off. What is this?

I had this problem.

Support suggested to do uninstall every app and do a factory reset, which I didn't do.  After the last phone update, I still had the problem. I did a "Reboot to Safe Mode" and back to normal mode and the flashing seems to have disappeared. 

Anyone still with the problem can confirm that?

I've seen this happen while charging and during software updates...

Hi there!

I experience the same issue. However, I figured out, that when I switch to Sony UCH20 (no quickcharge, I think) charger, this issue dissapears. Also, it stops when battery is around 60%. I have heard, that this is a treshold for Sony to stop quickcharging. So, my suggestion is: Is this have something to do with the adapter? Some fault of it? Can someone from Sony, reply, please?

I'm just suposing here but I think it has something to do with battery care. That the flashlight some kind of a regulator so that the battery doesn't charge full. Just speculating here
