It sounds like you do in fact know what you did to make this happen; can you please write steps to reproduce? Thanks!

No, in fact, I don't.
What I meant was that I checked whether the system was running or locked up after it had locked up, with KDE Connect.
I did so by using the Playback Control feature in KDE Connect to control videos and audio I had opened, which played with the correct actions.
However, prior to the freeze, I had simply been using the system as I had. It locked up most commonly after a suspend and some more usage, but that's about it. I cannot find any correlation with this issue, it also didn't occur throughout my 3 day uptime with numerous suspend (S3) sessions.

I should have used froze in the last occurrence of this segment.
