Loosing over 25% battery over night on sleep mode. Fedora 43 (thelemmy.club)

I consistently have abysmal sleep battery consumption on my Framework 13. How can I improve this. I'm so sad my laptop is constantly out of battery whenever i grab it.

Anyone knows how to fix this? It's been a problem for the entire year I had the pc now. I've been waiting for firmware updates to hopefully fix it, but nothing has changed for the past year and i feel it's only gotten worse.

See if you have quick resume or a similar setting in the bios and turn it off. It keeps a bunch of things powered up in sleep mode. Helped me a lot in making sleep mode actually useful

A somewhat generic answer, since its been a while since i had to troubleshoot/check the battery usage.

Check what sleep states the Laptop is going in. Check if you can set 'deeper' sleep states like suspending the ram to the disk so RAM is no longer powered etc. BIOS settings play a role here as well.

Is there an app for investigation, or how does one check it out? dmesg?

Would lscpu or lspci show what sleep states are available? I find these commands to be pleasant.

i've been looking for those settings, but i don't think the laptop supports anything but s2idle/modern standby.... if you know how to enable S3 sleep on this laptop id love to know.

Look into hibernation/suspend-to-disk. It's not too difficult to set up, and the power drain there would be basically 0 because the computer powers off completely. The only downside is that it takes slightly longer to resume, but on modern SSDs it's honestly not that noticeable.

Another downside is that it wears SSD a little bit. Not by a lot, but it adds up a bit after a while.

S3 is not supported by this amd platform. I belive it's not something you can just enable.

[-] anon5621@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago

I just tried to say with this link that s3 is dead

https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq give this a whirl

This has nothing to do with sleep mode or s2idle as far as I can see.

I don’t know if this is outdated information or not, but I recall that windows poorly maintained sleep under one of the sleep levels on any device causing battery drain like this.

Modern Standby configurations that disable traditional S1/S2/S3 state something like that. Unfortunately, for me, it wasn’t solvable and one of the many reasons I don’t use windows anymore.

OP uses Fedora Linux not Windows.

lol totally missed that as I was racing to hate on M$
