Hi! I’m unsure of why but it seems like my laptop is unable to sleep recently. I close the lid and when i check it again later, it has either died or is close to dying.
I checked journalctl:
neil@cm ~ sudo journalctl | grep "PM: suspend" | tail
Feb 17 09:47:21 cm kernel: PM: suspend exit
Feb 17 17:29:05 cm kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 18 09:44:42 cm kernel: PM: suspend exit
Feb 18 17:41:03 cm kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 21 09:41:31 cm kernel: PM: suspend exit
Feb 21 17:32:47 cm kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 22 09:38:55 cm kernel: PM: suspend exit
Feb 22 19:41:14 cm kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 23 10:58:34 cm kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 23 11:15:51 cm kernel: PM: suspend exit
and it seems like the last time it successfully suspended was Feb 23rd. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
I am using i3 and tlp is enabled:
neil@cm ~ sudo systemctl status tlp

Edit: seems like my system doesn’t have the deep sleep option? not sure if it matters
Oddly I have the same happening to me. Since about two weeks with the last sets of updates. I thought it could be related to me connecting/disconnecting screens at home/work, but never had that before. Literally my laptop drained the whole battery while lid closed, this twice now. Not sure how to start troubleshooting this except getting some journal logs next time. I use xfce with i3wm combined.
I have exactly that problem plus overheating and fan. Could be kernel update as I have the rest of my system updated. That deeply sucks, fully draining battery is so bad for the laptop. No time to troubleshoot next couple of days, unfortunately. Thanks for the links.
Edit: new kernel updates this morning will see what happens.
Edit2: I guess for now it’s systemctl suspend via terminal before closing lid before leaving from/to work. no time for troubleshooting but time to post in the forum
I just performed an update and seems like it suspends properly this time. I will test overnight and see if it is fixed.

hmm…something is still off for me. it didn’t get out of sleep (power led was still blinking) this morning and i had to hard reboot it. But there are no logs that indicate that it went to sleep. Oddly, the battery wasn’t drained either. So i’m not sure what happened there. I’ll test again tonight
