Comment(by thomaswamm):

 Replying to [comment:3 rsmith]:
 > Your steady usage may be frequent enough that the autosuspend timer
 never fires. That or perhaps you are running some other application in the
 backgroud or on a VT that prevents autosuspend from happening.

 In a changelog somewhere on the wiki I see mention that autosuspend is
 disabled in joyride-2301.  I am not aware of any background applications.
 I keep the VT's logged out.  Closing the lid does cause suspend, but that
 is probably 'manual' suspend.

 There are indeed times when it can be non-monotonic.  You shouldn't see
 any of those on a normal discharge/charge cycle though unless its a NiMh
 battery.  Run a few cycles with olpc-pwr-log running and attach the log
 files.

 I have a LiFe battery.  I have started experimenting with olpc-pwr-log
