I noticed something similar one night on 4.9.3 using the YouTube app (carrier data) while plugged in... the charging indicators (taskbar, swell around the center button) stopped and the battery eventually drained to near-zero. Had to stop YouTube and unplug/replug the charger to get it going again.

Did 4.9.3 include the fast charge driver?
