Random suspends even while system is being used.

Hello all,

I started encountering this issue a month ago and am struggling to find a valid solution.

The Problem: Laptop suspends even when the system is not idle, i.e, playing videos, code compilation, code execution, playing games etc,. This is a new problem to me which I haven't encountered before. Previously, the system used to wait for 50 mins in idle mode then xautolock used to lock the system, then wait for another 10 mins before suspending. I haven't touched this configuration recently so I believe some update might have changed systemd-logind behavior (I might be wrong here).

System:

WM : DWM
kernel : 5.15.6

Things I've tried : My first thought was a change in the configuration file /etc/systemd/logind.conf, but nothing seemed off, even then I've changed few things and my current conf file is :

[Login]
#NAutoVTs=6
#ReserveVT=6
#KillUserProcesses=no
#KillOnlyUsers=
#KillExcludeUsers=root
#InhibitDelayMaxSec=5
#UserStopDelaySec=10
#HandlePowerKey=poweroff
HandleSuspendKey=ignore
#HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
HandleLidSwitch=suspend
#HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
#HandleRebootKey=reboot
#PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#SuspendKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#HibernateKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
#RebootKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#HoldoffTimeoutSec=30s
IdleAction=ignore
IdleActionSec=24000
#RuntimeDirectorySize=10%
#RuntimeDirectoryInodes=400k
#RemoveIPC=yes
#InhibitorsMax=8192
#SessionsMax=8192

xautolock options in my xintrc file

xautolock -time 50 -locker slock -killtime 10 -killer "systemctl suspend" -corners -+00 -secure

Changing few conf options in /etc/systemd/logind.conf atleast made the suspends stop while playing games but still suspended during compilations, aur builds and executions, videos etc.,

I am not sure how to proceed from here. Few resources online have suggested to mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target but I'm not sure that's a proper way to go. I'm stumped as to why the setup suddenly stopped working. Please comment any suggestions you might have. Thanks in advance.
