Sudden unexpected sleep journalctl

SUMMARY
In theory, that sleep event should only be triggered when I'm on 2% battery as it used to do before. But now it's triggered on non-low battery levels. I can't be more specific, the only thing I know is that it does the same thing (sleep) as if you were on 2% on battery, but accompained with a myriad of coredumps, NVIDIA errors, drkonqi trying to fight them all.

Sorry for being too fuzzy in the description, but it's all I can gather for now. And no, my critical battery level is set to 5 so it's not the cause.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

There are none. This seems to be completely random

OBSERVED RESULT
The laptop goes to sleep at non-critical, not even low, battery levels. This results in graphics corruption on my NVIDIA setup and a long pause and delay waiting for KScreenLocker to react again.

EXPECTED RESULT
The laptop should never go to sleep on a battery level that's not even low.
