Support for i7 1365U (thinkpad T14s Gen 4)

You have already throttled the CPU with all available screws:
platform_profile
= low-powerenergy_performance_preference
= powerno_turbo
= 1
In particular you configured for
max_perf_pct
= 20%
which means a drastic limitation of the CPU's power consumption and implicitly also limits the operating frequencies (unfortunately the driver does not reflect it in scaling_min/max_freq
).
What purpose do you serve by additionally messing with the frequencies?
ps. I absolutely do not understand why so many insist on limiting frequencies although better settings have been available for so long. I am now seriously considering whether to remove the frequency settings for the intel_pstate altogether.
I don't know how the kernel (intel_pstate) handles P cores, so I wanted to figure out how to limit them when running on battery power.
At first glance, looking at the histograms, it seems that they are used indiscriminately like E cores.
My doubts are all here.
I see. If the intel_pstate driver does not do what you expect, then you should address the issue to its developers.
