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!
