Hi all! I bought a used Steam Deck 2 weeks ago and I am loving it! I am playing Fallout 4 on it and it works amazingly good!

So, what is your choice when you finish playing?

I put the Steam Deck to sleep and the next day the battery was 7 percent lower than before. I am thinking of just shutting it down so it doesn't drain battery in sleep mode.

I would probably do that more if I played on my PC much these days, but as is it's more convenient to just pit it to sleep

Though yeah, that doesn't apply to games that break in someways when asleep

Though out of curiosity, do you use the pause games plugin to make games auto pause when the deck goes to sleep? If not that might fix it

Oh no I didn’t know about that plugin. I tend to just pause manually, then sleep. I agree with you on the convenience of just putting it to sleep and picking it back up later. Super awesome feature that I feel is overlooked. Or maybe just not talked about a lot.

I find myself regularly looking at the available plugins on decky, there are some really cool ones
