Are you sure?
nvidia-powerd only supports Ampere or newer GPUs, and only in specific laptop configurations.
I have a 1050 Ti and nvidia-powerd has never worked since its introduction (early on in 510 driver? more than 1 year ago), which is expected. I’ve disabled it the entire time:
systemctl disable --now nvidia-powerd.service
Your issue seems unrelated to the original poster’s.
There’s a kernel update within the past day (6.2.13-300). Updating it will also trigger a new kmod build, so see if that helps.

Well, I had thought so, but apparently I am wrong.
Due to the OP having a different GPU, then it does appear my problem is similar, but completely unrelated.
Hey there, any updates ?
i got the same problem with a different card ‘RTX 2080 TI’
here is my output from the suggested commands:

The nvidia-powerd service is only intended to work with certain nvidia GPUs and only for certain laptop configs having those specific GPUs.
I think if you read the warning it will tell you it failed because certain conditions were not met, and maybe because a supported GPU is not available. Unless you have one of the supported GPU configs that warning is simply that – a totally benign warning that can be ignored. It does not work (and is not intended to work) for any desktop gpus.

Thanks for the clarification and your support!
deactivation of this service seems the right solution since it is not supported by my system
You can read more about the Dynamic Boost at nvidia:https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/515.43.04/README/dynamicboost.html
check if it is supported →
nvidia-settings -q DynamicBoostSupport
Stopping and deactivating:
systemctl stop nvidia-powerd.service
systemctl disable nvidia-powerd.service
