It should be that if i close the laptop and leave it, even overnight, it should only lose maybe 5% battery, but it actually loses all of it, as if it was on (it gets maybe 5 hrs of battery life)

I have it set to sleep after 5 minutes. What sorts of logs should I check to diagnose the problem?

Fedora 41 KDE spin on a 6th gen lenovo x1 carbon (intel i5-8650U)

aside from this, i really am enjoying linux on my new toy

thank you all

        Now we need a package called alcohol that makes your laptop go to sleep but still drains its battery

          So, whatever Windows 11 does on my work laptop when I tell it to standby and it shuts off the screen but proceeds to spin the fans to 100% continuously?

            “Just got to spin through a few trillion instructions to get things sorted before we go to standby! Won’t be a minute!”

          Sleep State S5: alcohol induces intermittent sleep where the monitor keeps coming on and the turning off for indeterminate amounts of time during the night.
