A few days ago I left my laptop awake in my office while being away for a longer time. The laptop didn't actually go to "sleep" as I set it to do (and as the annoying notification warns). Instead,
- only the screen was off (black)
- the laptop stayed awake (power LED was ON, not blinking, and the fan was spinning)
I tried to bring it back by pressing the power button or wake-up key on the keyboard, then other keys as well as touchpad, but nothing worked. In the end I had to force shutdown by holding the power button for several seconds, losing my session.
This is not cool. :frowning_face:
Few notes
The notification in question has the following features:
- it shows a warning triangle icon with a
!mark and a battery emblem icon in the lower-right corner; - no such icon shows up in the swithboard plug, so I cannot change its settings (disable sound for example);
- it persists visible on the screen until I move my mouse or otherwise interact with the system, at which point it disappears;
- for the above reason it rarely appears in the notification widget in wingpanel, with one exception - the incident described above, after which I cold booted to my system and found the notification there.
The notification comes every few minutes when I don't interact with the OS, most often when I'm reading some science paper. Since I cannot disable the notification or its sound, it's super-distractive at times when I need to focus. I really wish to never see it, as it's pointless and not doing anything useful (the opposite in fact).
Is there a way to figure out which process sends the notification? Probably post-fact in some logs, as any interaction makes it go away.

What Happened?
I'm getting a lot of notifications warning me about suspending my laptop only after a few (~5) minutes of inactivity, even though my settings look like this:
The notifications are very disruptive when I try to focus on reading or similar. How do I stop them please?
