    help!! this is driving me nuts. My ROG Ally drains more asleep than Id expect in sleep:

    Battery low

    Battery low
Connect the charger soon. The device will go
to sleep automatically at 2%.
Last full charge: 1 h 52 min ago

    ive tried pressing power mid-game, but it doesnt seem to make a difference, is there a way to see whats draining it?

    id love to hear what settings others use, sleep, hibernate, or just shutitng it down every time? what works best for you??

    i bought a handheld specifically to be able to pick it up and play for ten minutes. Right now i cant trust it to have any battery left when i need it. pls help 🙏

    it works on my machine™

    been there man in Device Manager, open teh network adapters properties and turn off Allow this device to wake teh compuetr on the Power Management tab, network atcivity is a common cause of drain.

    hmmm on Windows handhelds, run powercfg /sleepstudy in an admin terminal. it creates a report showing what kept teh device awake during sleep sessions. lmk how it goes

    consider hibenrate instead of sleep for longer breaks... enable it with powercfg /hibernate on, then add it to the power menu in Control Panels power options.

    Update teh BIOS and teh manufacturers companion app. Many sleep and power issues have been addressed in updates for handhelds. worked for me anyway 🤷

    Check the manufacturers companion app for a sleep or standby option. Some handhelds offer their own low-power mode that drains less than standard Windows sleep. good luck man!

    hmmm run powercfg /a to see which sleep states are available... many Windows handhelds use Modern Standby, which keeps some activity running and can drain more than traditional sleep. lmk how it goes
