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

    Some laptops have a BIOS setting for sleep mode. Windows or Linux. I have had a Lenovo with this setting.

      okay initial testing its good

      the whole time i was worried because the light on the lid (in the thinkpad logo) would keep blinking, making me think it wasnt asleep

      i left the laptop for 2 hours and it only dropped 1%
