Apologies if I am missing something in this issue, I am not used to reporting bugs in public projects.
I have been having an issue with my Surface Book 2 13" for months where if I am on battery, the GTX 1050 will be stuck in the P8 performance mode and stuck at the lowest clock possible on battery. nvidia-smi reports the card as thermal throttling due to 'SW Thermal Slowdown' at 38 degrees while the thermal slowdown threshold is reported to be 97 degrees. I have tried downgrading my Nvidia drivers down to 515 from latest, using DKMS. I am using Arch Linux with the linux-surface kernel and Wayland with Sway and this issue is not present on Windows and the issue is only on battery, the GPU works fine when plugged in. I apologise for the lack of information, I am not at my laptop at the moment and will not be for a few hours.

After attempting to get more information on this issue, I found a mention of it at the Arch wiki right here, and I can confirm that nvidia-smi does not seem to be able to see the fan for the GPU however I am unsure how to debug this further.
I have attached the dmesg output in a txt file, and the output of nvidia-smi -q while running __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA-only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears
on battery and plugged into power in seperate files. nvidia-smi-plugged.txt nvidia-smi-battery.txt dmesg.txt
I have also tested this in x11 with i3wm, and confirmed that the behavior does persist even when not using Wayland.
