I flipped off my laptop for the night without shutting down the system. When I opened it, my screen started to fade in. After seconds, my screen blinked. I said “what”, then my screen kept blinking. Blinks are getting faster with an acceleration. Then the screen shut down. System was working but screen didn’t turn on. Here’s the video

I am experiencing the same issue currently. I’ve started experiencing this when I upgraded from 6.11.x to 6.12.x kernels. So, if it’s urgent @destroyerofdemons13 I recommend you to downgrade back to 6.11.x kernels.
Also for anyone more experienced my Inxi output.

I highly suspect this is something related to power management, since the duration of the time it took to black out differs when the laptop is plugged-in or isn’t

Thanks, Literally the same situation about my laptop plugged or not. I’m glad it is because of software, not hardware. It is not really urgent. I can just wait. Thank you so much.
I had the same problem. I was able to solve it by turning off the energy saving function in the settings. It doesn’t solve the problem, which must lie in the energy saving function for the processor, but it works.

Same. I have power saving mode, normal mode and turbo mode. Power saving and normal mode causes to that. Turbo mode fixes the problem.

It seems the problem might be linked to wake up. I wake up the computer, and about 10 s later the screen is blinking and finally the screen is completely switched off.
I found in dmesg:

Perhaps it helps to taggle the issue.

Same problem here on wake up and on battery only, the brightness up to max then screen starts flashing down to a minimal brightness.
On messages, when this occurs powerdevil backlight service is started and deactivated :
systemd[1]: dbus-:1.3-org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper@35.service: Deactivated successfully.
I cannot found a bug related to this on bugs.kde.org
Here is my system specs :
