After update gnome-power-manager to 2.30, g-p-m reports battery critically low, when I unplug AC adapter. With 2.28 all worked fine. I use MSI WIND u90 with g-p-m 2.30.1 and upower 0.9.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unplug AC adapter 2. Get message "Battery critically low" 3. Wait while your laptop goes to hibernation
is the problem happening with a freshly created user as well ? You might want to check if there is no kernel upgrade you could do (emerge --info would be nice btw) and check if there is no suspicious message in the kernel log about ACPI stuff for example.

If also failing, could you try to install sys-apps/devicekit-power instead of sys-power/upower ?

I create a new user account and it's also go to suspend. With root account the same. I install sys-power/upower, when tried to solve this problem. Before this I had sys-apps/devicekit-power. But I didn't see any changes in my problem when I install sys-apps/upower.
This command helps me: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy false But g-p-m still writes that 1 minute of battery power remaining (100%). After several seconds it shows right time.
Maybe an udev issue (but not sure since I don't remember how g-p-m gets that information :-/)
I noticed, that upower shows large energy-rate, when I plug or unplug AC-adapter: History (rate): 1283363905 10.656 charging 1283363903 726.839 charging 1283363901 11.100 discharging 1283363900 12.865 discharging 1283363898 716.771 discharging 1283363879 10.667 charging What can be with udev?

Do you get the same with 2.32, a more updated upower and a newer udev version?
Please get back to us.

I had a similar problem where the tray icon always showed the battery as fully charged. Updating to latest Upower in portage seems to have solved the problem for me
upower-0.9.9 should solve this
