Comment on Steam Deck gets a Battery Charge Limit control in the latest Beta

The problem is that the Steam Deck APU doesn’t support amd_p_state and you need to rely on auto_cpufreq. This explains why the power consumption in sleep is so high.

It’s a custom chip though isn’t it? Seems a strange choice

  I think the amd_p_state is not available on any Zen 2.

Interesting. I have always felt that the Steam deck loses quite a bit of battery percentage during sleep. I agree that it would be a fantastic quality of life update to enable to shut down or enter some form of lower power consumption hibernation state after a period of time at a certain battery level.
