Screen blanks after only 30 seconds of inactivity since the last update (Gnome 43)

Hi! Since the last update (stable 2022-11-14, shipping Gnome 43) the screen is blanking after only 30 seconds of inactivity .

However the Screen Blank (in Settings > Power > Power Saving Options ) is set to 15 minutes. I tried disabling it completely but it doesn’t work.

This is happening when on battery power and when plugged in.

Do you have any idea how to fix it?
Thanks!

I had the “Automatic Power Saver” enabled which enables power saver when battery is low. That explains why the screen was blanking after only 30 seconds.

I did not think about that because the battery was full. The actual issue is that my computer measures an incorrect battery level after waking up from sleep, even when plugged-in. The temporary fix is to restart the computer.
