Ah, actually, I have `plasma-powerdevil.service`, I was running from root and
didn't expect that the service won't be visible there at all, even with
list-units.
The logs contain some errors:

```

Doesn't seem related to the profile change, but I guess it explains why since
recently my "stop charging at" settings got reset to 100%.

Thanks for the links!

Yup, the issue still reproduces after doing that. I didn't know that the
firmware could change the profile preset I chose in the OS, I thought this is a
feature of the OS, not the firmware? Is this actually an ACPI feature? If so,
then I guess I need to contact Lenovo support...
