Does suspend to ram drain battery?
Comment on Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way

I actually like suspend to RAM. Makes my laptop usable after sleep a bit faster. But absolutely not on Windows because then my fans are still spinning after minutes like many have reported. But I was simply able to disable that with a registry tweak and it’s now going to regular ACPI S3 when I close the lid. Is my Framework Laptop 13 (i5-1240P) an uncommon exception?

Yes depending on the sleep state. Also some power is going to ram to keep it alive. I think for framework it’s in the realm of 5% an hour or something like that.
I usually go the hibernation route.
Desktops I sleep to ram, laptops I hibernate to the SSD.

Yes. Laptop manufacturers are disable s3 sleep in firmware. Framework explicitly gives that freedom because they don’t suck
