We propose novel methods to determine the $ϒ (4 S) \to B^{+} B^{-}$ and $ϒ (4 S) \to B^{0} {\bar{B}}^{0}$ decay rates. The precision to which they and their ratio are known yields at present a limiting uncertainty around 2% in measurements of absolute $B$ decay rates, and thus in a variety of applications, such as precision determinations of elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and flavor-symmetry relations. The new methods we propose are based in one case on exploiting the $ϒ (5 S)$ datasets, in the other case on the different average number of charged tracks in $B^{\pm}$ and $B^{0}$ decays. We estimate future sensitivities using these methods and discuss possible measurements of $f_{d} / f_{u}$ at the (HL-)LHC.
