Windows 10: Windows 11 won't stay asleep - have already done a lot of troubleshooting!

I have a new Dell XPS 9520 running Windows 11 Home. It seems to me it isn't going to sleep or staying there. I make this assumption because when I put it to sleep, I still lose about 10% battery in 6 hours which seems excessive, and the event viewer shows lots of things happening between the time I put it to sleep and woke it up. Shouldn't the event viewer show no activity at all, or am I misunderstanding this?I have deactivated the lid switch in BIOS. I have made sure the LAN can't wake it through Device Manager. I have set it to go to sleep on battery after 10 minutes so even if it wakes
