[BUG] Conservation Mode causes AC adapter to be detected as "Low Wattage", preventing AC-connected actions from running

Summary

When Lenovo Conservation Mode is enabled and the battery has reached its conservation limit (~79-80%), Lenovo Legion Toolkit incorrectly detects the AC adapter as "Low Wattage".

As a result, AC-connected automation actions are not executed even though the original Lenovo charger is connected and supplying sufficient power.

Environment

  • Device: Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
  • LLT Version: 2.34.0.0
  • Charger: Original Lenovo AC adapter
  • OS: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable Conservation Mode.
  2. Allow battery to reach the conservation limit (~79-80%).
  3. Confirm battery status shows:
    • Connected, not charging
    • Discharge rate = 0.00 W
  4. Create an action under:
    • When AC power adapter is connected
  5. Add any action (Power Mode, Refresh Rate, GPU Mode, etc.).
  6. Disconnect AC adapter.
  7. Reconnect AC adapter.

Actual Behavior

LLT reports:

AC adapter connected (Low wattage)

and the AC-connected action does not execute.

Findings

The issue appears to be related to Conservation Mode.

When Conservation Mode is active and the battery is at its configured limit:

  • Battery charging stops intentionally.
  • Battery discharge rate becomes 0.00 W.
  • System runs directly from AC power (battery bypass).

It appears LLT may be interpreting the 0 W battery charge/discharge rate as a low-wattage adapter condition, even though the adapter is functioning correctly.

Disabling Conservation Mode or otherwise forcing battery charging causes the issue to disappear.

Expected Behavior

Expected Behavior

LLT should recognize that:

  • The original AC adapter is connected.
  • Battery bypass is active.
  • Battery charge/discharge rate is 0 W because the laptop is running directly from AC power.

AC-connected actions should execute normally.

Additional information / Video

Additional Information

Battery page during issue:

  • Connected, not charging
  • Battery level: ~79%
  • Discharge rate: 0.00 W
  • Battery temperature: normal

This seems to be a false positive caused by Conservation Mode + battery bypass operation rather than an actual low-wattage AC adapter.
