1. A method for operating a battery-operated flying object comprising at least one battery system and at least one electric drive unit, comprising:
determining a first power limit for the battery system;
recording current state data of the drive unit;
assigning configured target state data to the recorded current state data;
determining that the current state data does not meet the configured target data by one or more predetermined limit values; and
automatically increasing the first power limit to a second power limit responsive to the determination that the current state data does not meet the configured target state data by the one or more predetermined limit values.
