    1. Chech the discharge rate and press tab and look at the Tunables.

    sudo powertop

    Use the --auto-tune feature from powertop which sets all tunable options to their GOOD setting. This can be combined with systemd service to have the tunables set on boot.

    2. sudoedit /etc/systemd/system/powertop.service

    [Unit]
    Description=Powertop tunings
    
    [Service]
    Type=exec
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/powertop --auto-tune
    RemainAfterExit=true
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    3. Start and enable powertop

     sudo systemctl start powertop.service
     sudo systemctl enable powertop.service
