After a long time of users asking, Valve has actually added an official Battery Charge Limit setting in the latest Steam Deck Beta update so you no longer need to use third-party tools.
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.
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.

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.
This is incorrect.
Huh
