Windows 10: Windows 10 22H2 Power Options "Hibernate after" bug

Hello,I've noticed a bug with the "Hibernate after"-option in the power settings. The timer does not count correctly.How to reproduce:set "Sleep after" to "Never"set "Turn off the display" to e.g. "5 Minutes"set "Hibernate after" to e.g. "15 Minutes"Then start a Video in a browser e.g. "Youtube" or "Twitch". This video will prevent the display to turn off after 5 Minutes Option. It would also prevent the "Sleep after" setting. But the computer goes into Hibernate after 15 Minutes! Very confusing behavior.The "Hibernate after" timer only seems to reset on user input Mouse movement, etc..Best
