Under no circumatances should you do that to a Lithium battery. That’s a relic from NiMH battery era and was done for specific reasons you can find online.

Fully draining your Lithium battery will shorten its lifespan. Many new devices have a way to even limit the max charge and keep the battery in the optimal 60-80% range.

I can't say that this wouldn't help in some extreme buggy scenarios where the battery mgmt is not able to report / read the current actual battery status, but it would be the last thing I would try and do to resolve such issues.

EDIT: reading through the comments in the thread you linked, even OP recognizes that it did pretty much nothing but corrected a visual bug on the % of battery available.
