Sometimes when i run some hard software on my laptop (IntelliJ, Unit test), Manjaro disable automatic suspend during high power consumption. I can’t even suspend my laptop from menu, i can only shutdown it.
It write in Settings → Power: “Disabling automatic suspend will result in higher power consumption. It is recommended to keep automatic suspend enabled.”
How can i disable this “disabling feature” to suspend and then hibernate my laptop always?

I don’t think Manjaro has a built in feature to disable suspend during high power consumption, perhaps IntelliJ does?
This only seems to appear if you have suspend disabled and may relate to the following article discussing EU legislation. (The wording is the same)

It is a bit hard to understand what you’re talking about, but you’re probably meaning completely other feature: the power inhibition. Usually used by media programs and browsers to inhibit suspend in the middle of a video, i can imagine a compiler has it too, so that the machine doesn’t suspend during compilation.
If it is actually on the whole time (without compiling) it is a bug with intellij.
Power inhibition can be disabled in several ways, with systemd commands for example. Look here for some inspiration:
Since a couple of days a very old Chromium bug irritates me. Numerous topics about this in all possible forums, Reddit, Ubuntu, Mint, Brave, XFCE, etc…since at least 2018. In theory it was fixed but it seems not completely.
Particularly, sometimes after i watch video in the browser but later close the tab or the browser, the power inhibition stays and the laptop does not go to sleep.
Example of topics discussing it:
So here is a script that checks every minute if the browser is not running …
It is for something else but at least checking the theory should also work for gnome
dbus-send --print-reply=literal --dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit.GetInhibitors
And then you google how to stop it in your case.
