powertop reports an idle power usage of 7-8W. I have no idea what’s using the power, because the cpu is at <1% usage and the gpu is at ~5% usage when idling. Powertop says the wifi adapter is using 10W (which is more than the total power usage?), so I don’t think I can trust anything but the overall usage in there. The battery is draining fast enough to suggest 7-8W usage, though (only 4-5 hours of battery life idling).
I am using a sdd and wifi card from an old laptop, but I don’t think they could drive the idle up that much.
I have configured the correct settings, I will attach the output of tlp-stat as well:
