Hi,

Lately suspend hasn’t been working properly. Overnight the battery runs very low or completely out. When I open the laptop, it resumes very quickly as if it wasn’t suspended. Look at the logs with journalctl -b | grep -i suspend I see:

kernel: amd_pmc AMDI0009:00: Last suspend didn't reach deepest state

In /sys/power/mem_sleep:

[s2idle]

uptime -s shows the last time I rebooted, not the last time it resumed from suspend.

The kernel message is suspicious but I’m not sure what to do about it.

Triage with amd_s2idle.py - kernel/git/superm1/amd-debug-tools.git - Debug tools for AMD zen systems

Post the report to gist if you don’t have conclusions from script.

If it’s a kernel regression please bisect.

It says I have a tainted kernel due to virtualbox-host-modules-arch. Uninstalled and will see if the problem persists.

After reboot I ran the script.

This part is worrisome:

Try suspending with nothing plugged into the ports. See if that helps you.

Same result (Average rate: 1.1A). I see only two evmisc-0132 ev_queue_notify_reques lines now. What do they mean?

I’ll need to see what they’re notifying to tell you what they mean.

Make sure you run a long enough cycle - some of the hardware needs enough time to settle.

I gave it 30 seconds with two runs. The second time did not reach hardware sleep state.

Where is the report that failed to get hardware sleep state? The one you shared seems to have reached it.
