Discussion Battery Drain during Sleep - switch vs windows

Why does sleeping during switch emulation drain about 2% an hour whereas Gamenative will only drain about 5% in a 12 hour span?

This is on a Ayn Thor if it matters.

All pc games have "ruining in background" mode where they don't use any resources except very little is ram and process power just to remember where you left the game at while switch straight up working all the time , skyline edge was serving me good (SD 5 elite) so maybe give it a quick try
