> Can you measure it for those of us, who are interested in finding exact numbers? You can use script - https://github.com/savchenko/powerdrain Do you have a script that doesn't rely on systemd? I run a distro without systemd (Artix) so I am unable to use the script you linked. From my casual observations S3 seems to use around 8% per 24h.

> - proper support for S3, very low S3 power consumption Can you measure it for those of us, who are interested in finding exact numbers? You can use script - https://github.com/savchenko/powerdrain For example on Fedora35-Linux 5.16(T14s AMD Gen1), I get following numbers: Feb 07 12:13:22 weathertop systemd-sleep[5438]: [INFO] Discharge rate: 0.94741 W/h. So basically a fully charged laptop will discharge itself when left in sleep for 2 days or so.
