My laptop doesn't go to sleep, how can I diagnose this?

It should be that if i close the laptop and leave it, even overnight, it should only lose maybe 5% battery, but it actually loses all of it, as if it was on (it gets maybe 5 hrs of battery life)

I have it set to sleep after 5 minutes. What sorts of logs should I check to diagnose the problem?

Fedora 41 KDE spin on a 6th gen lenovo x1 carbon (intel i5-8650U)

aside from this, i really am enjoying linux on my new toy

thank you all

  Now we need a package called alcohol that makes your laptop go to sleep but still drains its battery
  
  So, whatever Windows 11 does on my work laptop when I tell it to standby and it shuts off the screen but proceeds to spin the fans to 100% continuously?
  
  "Just got to spin through a few trillion instructions to get things sorted before we go to standby! Won't be a minute!"
  
  oh I love that, especially in the middle of the night
  
  Sleep State S5: alcohol induces intermittent sleep where the monitor keeps coming on and the turning off for indeterminate amounts of time during the night.
  
  Then when the computer wakes up the mouse is all wonky for the first few minutes
  
  And the liquid cooling has leaked all over the desk.
