ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

# both of these checks give the result of false
qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement CanSuspendThenHibernate
qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement CanHibernate

however running either 

sudo systemctl hibernate
or 
sudo systemctl suspend-then-hibernate

the system behaves as expected, there just seems to be no way to activate these from the power management setting

also needed to add this parameter to grub for using the /swap partition to resume.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=UUID=[swap partition]"
Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2025-01-24 20:33:39 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.1.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.2 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.1.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
