Is it any different if you change the driver or use a config file?

[ryuheechul]

I'm also experiencing the same thing.

(performance governor automatically kicks in when there is AC power connected and schedutil and way slower with performance governor ironically due to the frequency limited to 400 MHz - reported via cpupower frequency-info as "current CPU frequency". But performance governor set as override - while not connected to power - would not suffer the same issue mysteriously)

It's happening across multiple different kernel versions ranging at least from 6.6.68 to 6.12.7.

And drivers both with
amd-pstate-epp and acpi-cpufreq.

The device experiencing this is GPD Win Max 2 (AMD) on NixOS.

I'm also not using any custom configuration, FYI.

[ryuheechul]

Follow up on my comment above, I'm experiencing this issue even without auto-cpufreq being used and now I see some search result that people report their Linux machine slow down quite a lot on charging (with some low battery level, probably low enough to cause actual charging to kick off and people speculate that it might have to do with heat caused by charging). In fact, when my device's battery is full and connected to charger, this issue kind of disappears which seems to back the stories that people share with their experience.

one new update, I may have found the real culprit. It was the faulty power adapter I tried another adapter and the problem just disappeared.
(actually my charger is not faulty but maybe my usage on that, it has multiple ports and using all of them at the same time reduces power supply for each port - but why lower power supply causes that when even lower power supply, no adapter at all works fine? this comment may explains that a bit, https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/zh2ly7/comment/jnw47au/)
