Since last three upgrades, by laptop drains the battery when sleeping, even a new one.

[Gabriel]

Hi,

Since the last 3 upgrades (20.10, 21.04, 21.10, was working fine with 20.04) when my laptop is in sleep mode the battery is drained very fast. I originally thought that maybe my battery was getting old, so I purchased a new one (over $150...) but the issue remained. I tried upgrading to 21.04 but the issue remained, then I upgraded to 21.10 and the issue remains. This makes the sleep move virtually useless, to give you an idea, I left for a 3 day trip and the battery went flat, even though it was fully charged before I left. Before it would last much longer (I cannot say how much but at least a week or two).

What has changed that causes this drainage?

I have a Lenovo W530 laptop.

Thanks,
Gabriel

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

The ubuntu-release-upgrade tool upgrades you from one release (eg. 20.10) to the next release (ie. 21.04) and isn't involved with sleep (and users are advised to not use battery but use power during the process).

Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

Hi,

I think we misunderstood each other, I understand the upgrade tool has
nothing to do with sleep, and I understand that the laptop should be
plugged in when upgrading (I always do this).

What I am saying that the sleep is broken for me by all practical measures
since upgrading to 20.10 and above, because the battery (even a new one)
drains very fast (2 or 3 days) whereas before it would last at least
between one and two weeks. So this is a regression/bug.

I hope this is more clear.

Thank!
