Asked the support for help.

This is what they told me:

Q: Is there a way known to your company to make the battery not drain so fast? Its bothering especially that it drains when the lid is closed.

A: First of all, it is important to install the necessary drivers. You can find our repository here: https://comexr.github.io/

To add it to ubuntu open terminal and run:

wget -qO- https://comexr.github.io/comexr.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/comexr.asc >/dev/null

Run:

echo "deb [arch=all signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/comexr.asc] https://comexr.github.io/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/comexr.list >/dev/null

Run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install lwl-drivers yt6801 -y

Then it is important to minimise the screen brightness (screen has 500Nits, so very bright and consumes a lot of battery power) and you can also turn off the keyboard backlight. In addition, you can disable bluetooth if you are not using it. As for suspend. How long do you have the laptop in suspend and how fast does the battery drain?

U can probably do a bit of tuning using ur own kernel compile if u want, but using amd power tuning options in kernel is easy. Just need to mod the grub.

Check amdgpu kernel driver options , amd pstate control can help a lot.
