Hello there,
1) I already murdered my CPU via ThrottleStop and Power Plan Explorer settings (12800HX and only 11W full load). However, processing any I/O output peripherals still requires a huge amount of power: I'm idling at 1-2W package power but moving the touchpad brings it to 6W.
As this seems a lot of power just to process I/O inputs, and since you implemented a lot of fixes during the years, do you think a fix for this would exist? Cutting another 2-3W of total power when doing super light stuff on battery would be awesome.
FYI: the only way I found to really limit this behavior is murdering the CPU even more by reducing the "Maximum Performance State" even more but this can get as bad as making the system almost unusable so this seems a little to much brute force for a very specific target.
2) Is it somehow possible to pull out a discharge power icon? Sometimes I forget I don't have my dGPU sleeping and having the discharge icon in the taskbar would be very handy.
