Re: >10W idle power usage on framework laptop 12th gen 13inch

1. Snapshot's kernel:

  Apr 28 13:32:23 matebook apmd: battery status: CRITICAL. external power status: not connected. estimated battery life 14% (11 minutes life time estimate)

2. Solene's patch:

  May  1 11:52:28 matebook apmd: battery status: CRITICAL. external power status: not connected. estimated battery life 14% (14 minutes life time estimate)

3. Attached patch:

  Battery state: CRITICAL, 13% remaining, 31 minutes life estimate

  AC adapter state: not connected

  Performance adjustment mode: powersaving (400 MHz)

Does apmd keep a running average for the current and voltage or is it based on instantaneous (as close as that can be)?

If it's not a longer average it might not be that reliable to base a savings test on. But it may be a longer average.
