I too keep mine limited at 80%

I went ahead and created a GitHub issue for this:

bug Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen 7040 3.05

## Device Information ### System Model or SKU Framework 16 7940HS + 7700S Pl…ease select one of the following - [ ] Framework Laptop 13 (11th Gen Intel® Core™) - [ ] Framework Laptop 13 (12th Gen Intel® Core™) - [ ] Framework Laptop 13 (13th Gen Intel® Core™) - [ ] Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series) - [ ] Framework Laptop 13 (Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1) - [x] Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series) ### BIOS VERSION 3.05 ### DIY Edition information If you are experiencing an issue on a DIY system, Please also fill out the memory and storage devices you are using. Memory: Kingston KF556F40-32 5600 MT, CL 40 1.1v 64 GB (2x32 GB) Storage: 2280: Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB 2230: Solidigm P41 Plus 1TB ### Port/Peripheral information If you are experiencing an issue with a peripheral or an expansion card/port please fill out the following information: * Peripheral vendor and name. * Port the Peripheral was connected to. Please see the following for port numbering: [Laptop 16](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/expansion-card-slot-functionality-on-framework-laptop-16-rkUjGm7cn) or [Laptop 13](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/expansion-card-functionality-on-framework-laptop-13-amd-ryzen-7040-series-SkrVx7gAh) * Device or expansion card attached to the **Adjacent port** to the port that is having the issue. 1. USB-C 2. USB-A 3. USB-A 4. USB-C (with delta 240W PD 3.1 charger connected) The following are for Laptop 16 only. 5. USB-A 6. USB-A ### Standalone Operation Are you running your mainboard as a standalone device. Is standalone mode enabled in the BIOS? - [ ] Yes - [X] No ## Describe the bug DGPU isn't using full 100W consistently with Delta 240W PD 3.1 charger while in performance mode. It will momentarily use it when battery reaches full, but when it's charging/discharging it doesn't reach the 100W limit. While in Balanced mode connected to the 240W charger, the DGPU uses up to the 100W limit consistently. ## Steps To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Discharge framework 16 battery and open a GPU intensive game while in performance mode. I used total war warhammer 3 (proton experimental) 2. Open a system monitor software and look how much power DGPU uses while charging. I used AMDGPU_TOP. 3. When DGPU has hit charging cap, look at average and see it has increased. It will potentially hit 100W for a brief moment and then drop back down to around 75W. The DGPU core and memory speeds will fluctuate wildly. ## Expected behavior While laptop is set to performance mode and charging connected to a 240W PD 3.1 charger, The GPU should be able to hit 100W consistently and possibly be capped up to 120W while in performance mode connected to a PD 3.1 240W charger. ## Screenshots ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/98de3cda-a162-4fae-9dbe-f6625c3499a1) Image 1 is laptop gaming while in performance mode. Battery is discharging from 80% to 70% and system is unplugged. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1291f5fc-0210-4609-9350-a24d55abb447) Image 2 is system (Set to performance mode) is plugged in to 240W delta PD 3.1 charger, while battery is recharging from 70% to 80%. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6667d224-2525-47a1-87d9-44eef1ef78e4) Image 3 is system (Performance mode) charged to 80% (The set charging limit) while connected to the 240W delta charger. ## Operating System (please complete the following information): - OS/Distribution: Ubuntu - Version: 24.10 - Linux Kernel Version: `6.13-rc2` ## Additional context With framework 180W adapter connected, DGPU uses about 100W constant. Clock and memory speed remain stable. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3be8032b-2d93-44df-a4be-f8058ebf0874) With 240W PD 3.1 adapter connected, DGPU uses about 74-83W with constant fluctuations, and the clock and memory speeds are all over the place. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d1348d23-a243-4601-b274-70a810df0a17) ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1b4e7ec5-0feb-4084-bbe2-079c0cb2ba3d)
