Thanks for checking that and supplying those lines from the output,

Regarding this line:
/Lockdown: systemd-logind: hibernation is restricted; see man
kernel_lockdown.7 /
There's some discussion of this issue on the Mint forum which is
specific to Cinnamon, but in the off chance it helps you can check it
out here:
Re: Kernel Lockdown prevents Suspend <https://forums.linuxmint.com/

What I found interesting, and you might want to try it, is the two
different commands to suspend the system and one of them worked correctly.
/...there are two different ways to suspend, /*systemctl
suspend*/ or /*pm-suspend*
The OP over there reported that *pm-suspend* resolved the issue for them.
I installed pm-utils and tried pm-suspend. The awake problem is still
there.
Regarding this line:
/wlp0s20f3: Limiting TX power to 30 (30 - 0) dBm as advertised by
e4:9e:12:bd:3f:ec/
That sure looks like power saving is disabled on this interface so it
won't throttle the wireless signal strength. If that's true, then your
system won't be able to suspend because wlp0s20f3 is requesting full-
strength signal. Seems like an Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) or Green
Ethernet setting on this interface might be preventing this system from
suspending properly. What chip is it and which driver is in use?
I suppose that the hardware doing the advertising is my Internet box
(Freebox Revolution), because the laptop goes through it to Internet. I
do not know chip and driver for it. I looked at all options it provides
in the configuration Web page, I find no option related to energy
efficiency or green; it just allows to disable Wi-Fi some intervals of
time during the day.
Note that my problem is not suspending; it is that the laptop awakes
itself each 1h13.

Maybe try to correlate some ACPI messages in the kernel log to
the unexpected wake.
I'd suggest a peek using the following command after an
unexpected wake:
journalctl --dmesg
I see this during suspend:
Sep 15 12:37:22 snoopy kernel: spd5118 0-0050: PM:
dpm_run_callback(): spd5118_resume [spd5118] returns -6

also:

and this:

But I think all the above messages are found also in, for ex.:
journalctl --since '2025-09-15 12:37'

Hi,
I have a weird problem ...
Could it be due to: Wake-on-LAN
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN ?
Some BIOSes, in the Power settings, have an option to
power-on at certain
times. Might be worth a look.
I have looked carefully at all BIOS settings, including
Power section.
Additionally, I looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/
title/ Power_management/Wakeup_triggers, in particular to
the dmidecode command, to show the reason of the last
resume, however it shows:
Wake-up Type: Other
hence again no success to find the culprit.
