Gaming Laptop does not turn on unless its on battery.

Relatively new gaming laptop (1 year). I have been using Arch Linux with Hyprland for 3 months now and for some reason it stopped working unless its on (A/C battery).

Startup is also like 1 minute instead of the usual 11 seconds.
Also battery doesn't charge beyond 27 percent.
Every app takes longer than usual to start.
CPU usage at a constant 30 percent even on idle.

I looked online and it seems like its a hardware issue but I want to make sure its not a software issue first.
Any help?

Re: Gaming Laptop does not turn on unless its on battery.

As far as I know, the os doesn't control battery because it need to funtion even when the computer shutdown, try kde-setting to control the battery-setting

check which processes is using it

$btop

it might be some processes restating constanly check

#journalctl -e
