I recently took a flight in which I brought on my brand new Framework 13 AMD 7640U (Fedora 39) and the battery experience I had was quite disheartening. I barely managed to get through one movie (~2hr) downloaded to storage (not streamed) using the Plex flatpak app before my laptop was entirely dead. Wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences, and what I might be able to do to get more life out of the laptop.

That's unexpected. I had been consistently getting 8+ hours of video playback (some local, some streamed) on battery power during a recent trip to visit family.
