Laptop idles and suspends during use

My laptop seems to think it's idling during use, and the logind.conf IdleAction kicks in after IdleActionSec, suspending my setup while I'm working. For example, on one boot this first occurred at line 2475 and then again at line 3100 in my journal (https://pastebin.com/GnSFmaMN). That’s a half hour apart and matches my IdleActionSec=30min. I tried extending this duration to 60min with a similar result.

I am on Arch 6.7.0 and using power-profiles-daemon-patched-amd-git (0.13-3). This occurs either on battery or with power. The laptop is a Framework 13 with a AMD 7640U cpu. I have posted on the Framework forum (https://community.frame.work/t/responde … 0u/44594/7) to see whether this a Framework specific issue as well, but there is no lead yet.

Any ideas on what is happening? My journal logs are linked above. Here is my logind.conf override:

└─❯ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/override-laptop.conf 
[Login]
IdleAction=suspend
IdleActionSec=30min

(PS... how do you use [ url ] tags to assign text to a url? The fluxbb.org site isn't loading for me.)
