I’m unsure what’s happening here. I have a similar setup on a Thinkpad, so either I goofed somewhere or this is a Framework / power management issue. The laptop will go idle during use and suspend. For example, on this boot it first occurs at line 2475 and then again at line 3100 in [my journal](https://pastebin.com/GnSFmaMN). That’s about a half hour apart. I am on Arch 6.7.0 and using power-profiles-daemon-patched-amd-git (0.13-3). This occurs when on battery or with power. Any ideas on where to start digging? Is this a known issue? Thanks. ---

This can be a magnet (bracelet of a watche) on top of the lid sensor on the bottom left side just below the keyboard. This already happened to many of us… > [@PSA: Magnets and the Lid Sensor](http://community.frame.work/t/psa-magnets-and-the-lid-sensor/4163): > > I had a somewhat odd problem yesterday that I thought might benefit others to know about. I went to wake up my Framework like normal but it would keep waking up but then going back to sleep and the keyboard/trackpad were sporadically working. After trying out a number of things I finally figured out that I had my Google Pixel Buds case, which have a small magnet to keep the lid closed, on the left side of my laptop. It turns out that if I slid the Pixel Buds case near the headphones jack it is … ---

Interesting! I’ve been currently sitting on a bare desk with bare arms, so I don’t think that’s it. My phone is the only other object I’ve handled, and it doesn’t seem to set off the sensor. I’ll monitor and test that when I get a chance though. ---

Just happened a third time. Again, almost exactly a half hour later. I have a logind.conf setting to suspend after 30 minutes, so now the suspend is less questionable. But why does my system think it’s idling? ```auto └─❯ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/override-laptop.conf [Login] IdleAction=suspend IdleActionSec=30min ``` ---

Was thinking Magnets as well, I wonder if you can test and see if it’s also happening on a live fedora 39? ---

But why does my system think it’s idling? Just for a sanity check, could you see if lengthening this resolves the problem? There may be an issue with systemctl? ---

Changed it to 60min, rebooted, and it suspended after 60min while in use. Not sure what gives. Opened a thread on the [Arch forum](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2148314#p2148314).
