Yes. This is why I switched to simply hibernating, which has worked flawlessly for me. The shutdown and startup times are obviously a bit longer (it takes 10 seconds to get to the bootloader, after which its about 12 seconds to wake up), but since it's truly off, it can remain asleep indefinitely.
Do you have a link to a community thread or any other link on how to implement the hibernation? Right now, anytime I am closing the lid, the battery is draining out.
