I never had that happen unless there was some major change in the work my computer was doing, in which case I'm grateful to know about the change.
That's probably what I dislike most about losing this UI tidbit, actually. Number of hours to empty is good, but knowing that my energy usage has silently gone through the roof is really handy.

I fully acknowledge that the estimate was not perfect and wasn't useful for everybody. But it was for me.

There's a really handy Activity Monitor window then, with energy usage details over time.
