Original report
System details
G14 2024 GA403UV, Omarchy 4
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
On hybrid laptops, the NVIDIA GPU is powered down while idle. However, the firmware can still send NVPCF notifications:
once per 1% of battery discharge, or every 4-5 minutes on the tested laptop;
after a platform-profile change, such as:
sudo sh -c 'echo balanced > /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile'
or manually changing through a GUI (Quiet <> Balanced <> Performance).
It seems to affect mostly ASUS G14/G16 2024/2025 on Intel or AMD.
This happens even when running on integrated mode with the DGPU powered off - and it is exactly when it hurts battery life the most.

Fix
This is due to a bug in the OSS Nvidia drivers, and the solution - awaiting it to be merged upstream - consists in recompiling the Nvidia drivers with the fix in https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/pull/1299.
N.B.: Thanks to Krzysztof from the OmaDiscord for his help debugging this, the Open Gaming Collective discord for pointing towards the fix and the multiple GH contributors to the actual fix.
