Running SX OS pro 2.5.2 on firmware 6.2 (used the chodojour method so autoRCM is on)

Was playing tales of vesperia then I put the switch in sleep mode because I was gonna go eat then when I came back to play my switch it turned itself off.
I thought it got bricked but after holding the power button for 20secs and using tegrarcmGUI I was able to turn it on again.

anybody else experienced this?

That is most likely due to autoRCM. Was the battery dead and needed to charge or did it just power up right away after your held the power button for 20sec to turn it off?

Weird. The only sleep issue I have seen is when people upgraded to 6.2 before SX was compatible and then tried to downgrade. I have not seen any posts about sleep issues since SX2.4 was releases. Seems like something may be corrupt. SD card itself or possibly the game dump.

Do you have another SD card you can format fresh with the switch and try that game specifically with putting the console to sleep?

I'm having the same issue. I just upgraded to 2.5.2 yesterday and then to Switch firmware 6.2 with chodojour right afterwards. I do not use autorcm or emunand, and if I put my Switch to sleep it'll seem like sleep/wake works fine (I can press the power button or select sleep through the options and then wake it a few seconds later), but if I put it to sleep at night (docked and charging) and come back the next morning, it won't ever wake. I have to hold power to fully shut down the system.

I should also mention I've never had sleep issues previously. I've only ever used non-beta releases of SX OS, and was on Switch OS 6.0.1 previously.

* Edit: Realized I was previously on Switch OS 6.0.1 (not 5.1.0) and SX OS 2.0.1

Had this issue with SX OS 2.2 on switch firmware 6.1 and also SX 2.5.2 on firmware 6.2. Sometimes it won't turn on stays in autoCRM mode. Had to hook up to computer to inject payload with TegraRcmGUI.
