Machine auto-suspends with GNOME power settings set not to – GDM issue

It seems GDM auto-suspend is still an issue with GNOME 3.34, as in the Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GD … ME_3.28.29
Some nights my machine keeps running as intended, sometimes it suspends after 120–140 minutes of desktop inactivity, even when being remotely via SSH.

Seeing different settings in …

gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout

… and …

sudo -u gdm gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type
sudo -u gdm gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout

Shouldn't GNOME power settings get propagated to GDM's? Welp, I will set it manually as per the Wiki:

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'
