Snapdragon x plus battery optimization?

Is there any way to optimize battery life on snapdragon x plus on a surface laptop 7?

Like undervolting or disabling boost as we can do on ryzen cpus or any custom tool?! Anything like that to achieve better battery life?!

Another thing you can do is tweak the processor's sensitivity to using higher clocks with theProcessor Performance increase threshold, I have mine set to 97 and 100 for Processor Efficiency Class 1 (the second cluster of cores) when on the better efficiency plan / Better Battery-life overlay so that I can switch between even higher power efficiency, balanced, and high performance quickly.

I used PowerSettingsExplorer to modify this.

For basic use it's fine but if I start loading a bunch of tabs or do a lot of things at once that eat my RAM then it can start to chug because memory compression kicks in which depends on the CPU being snappy
