Power profile automatically changes back to balanced

Description:

I'm trying to set "performance" profile on my Fedora, but it automatically goes back to "balanced" after a couple of seconds/minutes.

You can see my logs pasted below. The switch from "performance" to "balanced" profile is always happens automatically, I did not click on the "balanced" profile when it switched back, neither did any interactions with the UI.

Device:

-Lenovo 20N20009HV ThinkPad T490

OS:

-Fedora Linux 35 (Workstation Edition) x86_64

Kernel:

-5.15.12-200.fc35.x86_64

GNOME version:

-41.2

Some (maybe) useful outputs:

$ powerprofilesctl 
  performance:
    Driver:     platform_profile
    Degraded:   no

* balanced:
    Driver:     platform_profile

  power-saver:
    Driver:     platform_profile

This doesn't change, it is "performance" all times:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor 
performance
