[SOLVED] Battery Life Dropped Dramatically After Recent Update

I'm currently using Arch on a Dell XPS 9570 laptop. Before I updated the system earlier this week, I was able to get between 5 and 6 hours of use out of my laptop before I had to plug it in. Now I'm lucky if I get more than 1.5 hours out of it. I have no idea what packages caused the change. My fan is constantly running now and I occasionally have to power the laptop down for a while because part of the left side becomes extremely hot. Is there anything I can do to get my previous battery life back?

Neither do we unless you paste a full pacman.log

Re: [SOLVED] Battery Life Dropped Dramatically After Recent Update

What is resource usage on the system CPU/memory?  (Wondering if something is now placing a much greater load on the system)
Not the cause of this issue but I suggest you fix the following.

Re: [SOLVED] Battery Life Dropped Dramatically After Recent Update

There were bbswitch and nvidia updates. Maybe your nvidia graphics are not disabled and consume power?

Also, I fixed the issue with the build hooks. Thank you for the tip!

There were bbswitch and nvidia updates. Maybe your nvidia graphics are not disabled and consume power?

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to do that. If I did I definitely would though, since I don't need the graphics card 99% of the time. I tried asking in this thread about the graphics card issues with my particular laptop, but I was ignored.

I don't know much about nvidia graphics since I avoid them. You should be able to get the status and toggle it with /proc/acpi/bbswitch

cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<OFF
sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON

I ran into that exact same bug! When I was looking at top before, I had libreoffice open and I figured that the 100% usage on the file picker was a temporary spike and I disregarded it. Turns out that was an unwise decision on my part. Thank you for letting me know that it's a known problem; I'll make sure to be more aware of it in the future. Also, after killing those processes, charging back up to 100%, and waiting a little bit, my projected battery life has gone back up into the 6 hour range, so I'm marking this as solved.
