My Framework is a personal device, not for work. I might use it once a day or less for a couple hours or less. It was 100% charged this past Saturday night when I picked it up off the charger. I used it for an hour or two looking for doing some planning for Halloween. Nothing serious, just browsing with Firefox. I shut the lid and placed it on the coffee table. I picked it up Sunday night to find the battery had depleted to below 20% and Windows was in Power Save mode.
This happens every time. I get one and half evenings of light usage out of it before having to charge it.
You can change the action for "shutting lid" in windows settings. Mapping it to hibernate can help. You might have to enable hibernation first if you haven't already.
Windows has automatic Modern Standby to Hibernate support (by default after 5% battery drain in standby). If it is not entering Hibernate, there may be an application keeping the system awake.
This works great for me on my Lenovo, I don't even have to close the lid, it just works. I think I configured it to be a little more aggressive about going to sleep when on battery than the default, but the settings work.
this sounds like a dumb workaround for fundamental issues that should ideally be addressed by beating app, driver, and hardware developers into submission in a way that would probably fall afoul of antitrust law
