Well, thanks for that information. Good to know that battery runs out when in sleep actually
Well, every device in sleep mode runs out of battery at some point. The Steam Deck is not the most efficient one in sleep. I would just turn it off if you do not use it for an entire day or so. Otherwise its pretty useful to just sleep for a few hours.
Sleep mode means ram is being powered, as otherwise it will clear out, and it keeps Bluetooth and WiFi on as well for the wakeup stuff.
There's a rather complicated tweak for allowing hibernation, that saves stuff to disk and actually shuts the deck off properly.
