Sleep quality problems since updating the kernel from 5.0 to 6.5 (T8345)
I noticed that after one big update a month or two ago my laptop stopped sleeping well: it would run out of battery while sleeping overnight.
Laptop: Thinkpad X1 Extreme (1st revision) Using Nvidia proprietary driver for the GPU.
See the update history in {F5145460}
It ends with the suspected large update that moves the kernel from version 5.0 to 5.2.
Any ideas on the known upstream issues to track, or the ways to investigate this, would be highly appreciated! Please let me know if I can provide more info.
Is this still an issue on 5.3?
Tested on "5.3.10-134.current #1 SMP PREEMPT" by leaving the laptop sleep overnight without power. The charge dropped to 56% in the morning. I think it's safe to say that the issue is still there.
I am able to reproduce this issue with kernel 6.5.3-256.current
System: Dell XPS 9710 with hybrid Nvidia dedicated / Intel internal GPUs nVidia proprietary drivers installed through Hardware Drivers
Testing steps:
- Charge battery to 100%
- Put system to sleep / suspend
- Wait 5 minutes, then resume the system
The Dell bios allows the user to select the GPU to run external displays from. With the GPU set to nVidia, the bug can be reproduced. Battery drains significantly during suspend. After 5 minutes, battery level was at 93%
With the GPU set to Intel, the bug cannot be reproduced. Battery drain is minimal during suspend. After 5 minutes, battery level was at 100%. I was able to suspend the laptop overnight. In the morning, battery level was in the 90s.

I can confirm this is no longer an issue with 6.8.8-288.current Unfortunately, I'm unable to test with the linux-lts kernel, as SDDM won't load. The screen remains black with a small blinking cursor in the upper left corner
@ReillyBrogan , or @sheepman4267 could you test this out with one of your laptops and the LTS kernel?
@TraceyC77 It looks like this is an NVIDIA thing, right? I don't have an optimus laptop. Let me know if I can still help with this.
