The big battery has enough charge for probably millions or billions of shifts or drops. Easy enough to reserve some for shifting: easily get many hundreds of shifts from the power it would take to drive the motor for like 100 meters more. And in fact, I have read that either this system or the new Trek with the optional wire-powered AXS (can't recall which or if it's both, so many system integrations happening right now) does reserve some big battery juice specifically for shifting after the motive power has "run out".
