I've been running patched upower for a year and a half now. It has saved me in a few occasions. By far the most common scenario is that I've forgotten to plugin and it just suspends and I reconnect it and get going again.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1852911] Re: CriticalPowerAction=Suspend should be supported
I have found a (dirty?) workaround for this. The idea is simple: use a
udev rule to suspend the laptop before UPower shuts it down. This can be
done by creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lowbat.rules with the
following content:
# Suspend the system when battery level drops to 5% or lower
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging",
ATTR{capacity}=="[0-5]", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl suspend"
You can of course tune the threshold.
This method seems to work well for me. If you want to use a threshold
that's lower than the UPower one, *I think* you could set the
PercentageAction parameter to 0% or 1% in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf,
although I'm not 100% sure this is a good idea (the disclaimer at the
beginning of the file seems to discourage users from directly modifying
the file).
Reference:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/laptop#Hibernate_on_low_battery_level
On a side note, I definitely wish this bug could be addressed. It's not normal
that a computer just shuts down and makes you lose your work when there's still
battery. Also note that afaik there's currently no way to enable hibernation
with full disk encryption, so this limitation of UPower will become
increasingly serious as more and more users will make the (right) choice to use
FDE.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1852911] Re: CriticalPowerAction=Suspend should be supported
I've once again lost my open session because upower has decided a shutdown is a sensible thing to do instead of just suspending and allowing me to just find a charger.

For most laptop users having their computer suspend because they didn't notice the battery was running out is very easy to fix and takes no time. They'll just connect the charger. If however the computer needs to be completely rebooted, not only does that take a lot more time it will very likely cause lost work.

Thank you for your bug report, it has been reported upstream as well on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/issues/23 Which got that reply 'Suspend still uses significant amounts of power, and if you run out of power and do a hard powerdown when suspended bad things can happen.' ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/issues #23 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/issues/23 ** Changed in: upower (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: upower (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Also affects: upower via https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/issues/23 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852911 Title: CriticalPowerAction=Suspend should be supported Status in Upower: Unknown Status in upower package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The action to take when the battery is critical can only be one of the following: # Possible values are: # PowerOff # Hibernate # HybridSleep Adding Suspend to that list makes perfect sense.
