    ok so i put my ROG Ally to sleep by pressing power mid-game, and when i picked it up later it showed this:

    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

    it lost 10% per hour asleep... that makes it hard to rely on as a grab-and-go device. is this normal for handhelds, or is something keeping it awake??

    i bought a handheld speicfically 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. thx in advance!!

    lol same thing happened to me check teh manufacturer's companion app for a sleep or standby option. Some handhelds offer their own low-power mode that drains less than standard Windows sleep.

    Update the BIOS and the manufacturers companion app. Many sleep and power issues have been addressed in updates for handhelds.

    Consider hibernate instead of sleep for longer breaks. Enable it with powercfg /hibernate on, then add it to the power menu in Control Panels power options. good luck man!

    oof in Device Manager, open the network adapters properties and turn off Allow this device to wake the computer on the Power Management tab. Network activity is a common cause of drain. worked for me anyway 🤷

    this vid explains it way better than me lol
