Hello,
I reinstalled my operating system on my ThinkPad T14s (Gen 1, AMD) and set everything up for my workflow. I use TLP (in combination with tlpui for the setup and I also installed the acpi_call package) for the battery charging thresholds to save the battery of the laptop because I use it a lot plugged in and there is no easy way to remove and reinstall the battery in a fast way. I disabled (I think) the power management service because I still want my CPU to boost and such. I noticed that my CPU does not seem to be able to boost. It doesn’t seem to go above +/- 2.5 GHz, but in my previous install it could go well above 4 GHz on full load, so something seems off to me.
Here is my TLP output (using tlp-stat -b):
--- TLP 1.5.0 --------------------------------------------
+++ Battery Care
Plugin: thinkpad
Supported features: charge thresholds, recalibration
Driver usage:
* natacpi (thinkpad_acpi) = active (charge thresholds)
* tpacpi-bat (acpi_call) = active (recalibration)
Parameter value ranges:
* START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0/1: 0(off)..96(default)..99
* STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0/1: 1..100(default)

Am i missing something?
Thanks in advance!
That is temporary. 
, did you change the power limit on yours? How is the experience?
, thanks for your time and handy information!
