Ideapad Flex 5i (Intel) - High power consumption when suspended (RAM)

Hi,

my Lenovo Flex 5i, the Intel version with an 11th-gen i7

11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz

drains the battery very quickly when suspended to ram. When I close the lid, the LED on the side starts blinking, so I assume it does enter sleep mode,
but the battery is drained 75% after a day.

I've found this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/ … t_working/

It's about a different Lenovo product, though, and I can't really find a BIOS option to disable Intel VMD.

Does anyone have a hint on how to reduce battery drain in sleep mode ?

Best,
N
