[SOLVED]KDE Plasma cannot suspend session automatically but manually

Greetings. My KDE just cannot go to suspend automatically, I did a lot of search around but cannot find the clue yet.

However, I can suspend it by:

systemctl suspend

Also the output of "systemd-inhibit"

systemd-inhibit --list

WHO            UID  USER PID  COMM            WHAT                                                                       WHY                                                        MODE

Really appreciate for any suggestions for how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!!

How are you starting the session? If you are using a display manager then it may be as simple as setting up your desired configuration in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

Quick update: I switch to wayland and it can be automatically suspended. But I don't know why X11 doesn't work.
