Helios 300 ThrottleStop POWER STATUS CHANGE

Hello,
I'm using ThrottleStop while gaming Jedi Fallen Order. Everything is fine, voltages and temps are stable. But when I check ThrottleStop's log file after the end of my gaming session, I noticed some POWER STATUS CHANGE lines. I'm playing while AC adaptor connected and not on battery. It looks like it uses battery for a while and then gets back to normal.

What could be the reason for this behavior?

Note: I may experience some drops in FPS when power status changes tho I'm not sure as I can't time it correctly.

Here's a sample of the logs:

Also even tho the AC is plugged in it, sometime I see battery info like this:


Thank you,

    Any ideas about this power drain while high performance gaming?

    I have several Power Status Change in my throttlestop log. Every 5 seconds! But no battery drain (always 100%). Do you use turbo by any chance?
