From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would check the journalctl logs to ensure it is fully turning off. If here is still battery drain and you are sure the laptop is off, then its a hardware issue rather than software.
how do I check this? This is probably the source of the issue (see this comment), but I have no idea on what to do to understand the actual cause
thanks for your time and help!
This is a good place to start to understand what you are doing: https://www.howtogeek.com/499623/how-to-use-journalctl-to-read-linux-system-logs/
But basically you shut the computer off, then on then do
Will show the last 3 mins of logs which you can go through and try to read the logs up until the moment it actually turns off to see what is happening.
